Snitch Jacket

Benny Bunt is a Bukowski-ish barfly living in the bleak nothingness that is southern California. A down on his luck, over-educated, ex-speed addict, Benny doesn't seem to have much to live for, and when he does, he spends most of his time at the Greasy Tuesday, a local dive bar. One night, one of the bar's most famous faces walks in and Benny's life changes forever. Gus "Mad Dog" Miller is an impressively sized Vietnam vet with a penchant for wearing human ears, and he makes it known that he doesn't want Benny at the Tuesday. Six months later, Benny, still obsessed with the event, is arrested for double murder and forced to save himself by entering California's seamy underworld.
