The Big Hoax







Woman in trouble comes to alcoholics hideout full of sluts and scum seeking help from ex-cop, now drinking himself to death. Apparently she got involved herself in some trouble about compromising photographs involving high ranking members of La Colonia, of which one is brother of ex-cop and they are sending cold blooded killer called Iguana to track her down and kill her.
