Charles Dump vit dans un site industriel abandonné : une vaste mine à ciel ouvert, loin des zones habitées, où il a pour seules voisines une femme et sa jeune fille toutes deux mentalement dérangées. Un jour, Dump recueille un jeune homme blessé d'une balle, arrivé là en sautant d'un train de minerai qui passait à proximité de la zone. Ce kid, armé, vient de réussir un hold-up dont il tient le fruit dans une mallette. Dump est un être fruste et brutal, mais il a compris l'affaire. Après avoir tenté sans succès de supprimer le jeune homme, il le recueille et le soigne tout en espérant faire main basse sur l'argent. En même temps, il monte la garde car son pensionnaire l'a prévenu que Sunshine, son complice dans le hold-up, viendrait un jour chercher sa part du butin. Un jour, l'homme arrive sur les lieux. Sunshine est un homme froid, violent, cruel. En brigand doté d'expérience, il n'a guère de mal à se jouer des occupants du site. Ainsi Charles Dump, de maître des lieux, devient sa victime. Sunshine a toutefois plus de mal pour retrouver le butin car le kid, s'il n'a pas initialement l'intention de doubler son partenaire, a toutefois le bon sens de s'en méfier.
