Cut-Off opens on a drive around typical Los Angeles street traffic. Cars everywhere they shouldn't be and everyone cutting everyone off... true chaos! On this wonderful day the wrong person gets cut off in the streets... then gets cut off from reality as he knows it.

On Wilshire Blvd., one of Los Angeles' busiest streets, Sebastian is driving along in an uproar. He cuts off a Cadillac in his 500 SL Mercedes while on his cell phone and looking around his car for a document as rock music plays loud over his stereo. He then pulls a typical Los Angeles driver move and gets mad at the Cadillac and it's driver, honking, screaming out his window, chasing up too him and flipping him off, he goes about his day in the typical Los Angeles way. Until Sebastian notices the Cadillac start to follow him around as he turns from street to street. Sebastian notices he is being followed by the same Cadillac and a car chase ensues. Street too street, through alley ways and over parking lots. After a moment Sebastian looses the Cadillac down an alley way. After a quick moment he thinks he has got away from the stranger in the Cadillac and pulls out of the Alley way too the left. Suddenly he is cut off and rammed up onto the curb. We start frame as we see a pair of expensive boots step out of the Cadillac while Sinatra plays in the background. We pan up to reveal Giancarlo, aka Johnny, decked in a Mafioso look. He casually steps over to Sebastian's car and knocks on the window. Sebastian rolls down his window expecting a conversation. A beat happens before Johnny pulls Sebastian out of the car; rock music playing in the background. Johnny proceeds to drag Sebastian back to his car, leaving Sebastian's car up on the curb. Sebastian is putting up a fight until Johnny pulls out a big gun and knocks Sebastian unconscious fading the screen to black. The next instance the scene fades in and we are inside Johnny's car driving along as Sebastian wakes in the passenger seat.

We now come to find that Johnny is a mobster in-town to handle some business. Johnny explains that if Sebastian thinks he is bad-ass in his Mercedes too the point he just honks and flips off anyone then he should have no problem staying the big man and helping him with some "errands". He needs an unknown soldier, a man that can be seen before Johnny is heard, to help him executing the diabolical plan he has set in motion before the two met. It turns out Johnny is a God-Father and he found out his crew was going to rub him out, then join under another bosses gang. After hearing this Johnny went on a killing spree rubbing out every member of his own gang. Now he is going for revenge by wiping out the other gangs leader, known for now as "the Boss", and take over the crew that was too join with his in his demise. He has now kidnapped Sebastian because he needs a right hand man he doesn't care about too carry out his gruesome plans. First stop, Will uses Sebastian too set up "the Boss" with the cops. At this point the police have found the running car on the side of the road and received reports of a man taken at gun point. They start to investigate and follow the path of our two suspects. We then show as Johnny tarnishes the rep of "the Boss" within his own crew. Third, he takes out his home life by blowing up  the "boss's" house, car and property. This brings the police even closer as they get hot on the trail of our two suspects. Next Johnny steals all of "the Bosses"  money, but it is rerouted as shown later to an off shore account. Then Johnny kills off  "the Bosses" family. The police are getting closer. Johnny finishes by killing off the second and third men under "the boss".   Thus resulting in every aspect of "the Bosses" life ruined and gone. The police are right on their tale as the only thing left for Johnny too do is take out "the Boss".

We end this amazing film in a crazy shoot out battle... and a major twist as Johnny goes to kill off  the "boss". Not only has Sebastian helped Johnny with everything he needed, but it turns out Sebastian is "the Boss"  that Johnny was trying to rub out!  Sebastian did all this to disappear! He needed a way to get out of "the mobster life" which has no way out but death. So he started the rumor of a take over knowing Johnny would wipe out his own crew and then come for the Renato Family and Sebastian. This results in Johnny taking out every aspect of his life which was holding him back from disappearing. All that's left was a body for the cops to ID as "the Boss". Sebastian kills Johnny and when the cops finally catch up they suspect Johnny's body is "the Bosses" which gives Sebastian the chance to slip away Kaiser Sosa Style and completely leave his past behind.
