Richard Starks Parker Slayground

Parker, whose getaway car crashes after a heist, manages to elude capture with his loot by breaking into an amusement park that is closed for the winter. But his presence does not go unnoticed - a pair of cops observed the job and its aftermath. But rather than pursue their suspect… they decide to go into business for themselves, with the help of some business associates. From then on its a game of cat and mouse, one played out through closed rides of the abandoned carnival… a game that slowly starts to favor the mouse.
