A man who lowered himself to work in telephone sales finds himself not only fired from his job, but also set up by his former boss for fraud. His day continues on its downward spiral as his wife leaves him, and his corrupt landlady evicts him - - just before she herself dies. To top it all off, a young woman with two sinister travelling companions appears, claiming to be his daughter. The duo then sets out to find the truth about their relationship.

Critic Reviews for The Highwayman

All Critics (3) | DVD (1)

Seems like another snicker-worthy straight-to-tape crime yarn: after all, it co-stars Jason Priestley as a badass armed robber named Breakfast.
