Description: A hobo arrives in the crime-ridden city of Hope Town, referred to as “Scum Town” by its graffiti-covered welcome sign. The city is under the brutal control of a crime lord known as The Drake and his ruthless sons, Ivan and Slick. The hobo witnesses a disturbing scene where The Drake and his sons publicly execute Logan, The Drake’s own brother, labeling him a traitor.
Determined to change his life, the hobo aims to buy a lawnmower by begging for money. However, he encounters a group of violent punks and secretly infiltrates The Drake’s nightclub, where he discovers the brothers and their henchmen torturing and killing homeless people for entertainment. When Slick threatens a boy named Otis and attacks a prostitute named Abby, the hobo intervenes, knocking Slick unconscious and taking him to the police station. There, he uncovers the corruption of the police chief, who is complicit in the criminal activities. The hobo is brutally beaten and thrown into a garbage bin but is later rescued by Abby.
The following day, the hobo endures a series of degrading acts to earn enough money for the lawnmower. However, when a robbery occurs at the pawn shop, he grabs a shotgun instead and kills the robbers. Realizing the town’s desperate need for justice, he arms himself with the shotgun and begins targeting criminals, including the filmmaker, a pimp, a drug lord, and even a pedophile dressed as Santa Claus. The hobo becomes a vigilante, determined to cleanse Scum Town of its lawlessness.
