Now he's a drifter, on the run after escaping from a mental institution. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e One afternoon he meets Fay, a beautiful young widow. She is smart and decent -- at least when she's sober. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Soon Collins finds himself involved in a kidnapping scheme that goes drastically wrong almost before it even begins. Because the kid they've picked up isn't like other kids: he's diabetic and without insulin, he'll die. Not the safest situation for Collins, a man for whom stress and violence have long gone hand-in-hand. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eAfter Dark, My Sweet\u003c\/i\u003e once again displays Jim Thompson as the undisputed master of American noir.
