River (Christopher)

Christopher, better known as Rio, is a gang leader who employed Beth Boland, Annie Marks and Ruby Hill to do his gang's dirty work after they stole money from him.

Rio is a shady, but intelligent man who clearly has strong feelings for Beth, but doesn't like to show it. However, he confirmed his attraction when he had sex with Beth in a bar bathroom while she was on a date with Dean. He also had sex with her in the bed they previously shared with Dean Boland. Since then, he's been a lot nicer to Beth and has noticeably been giving her a lot of special attention compared to the other girls.

Rio runs a money laundering business. He supports his business by transporting wrapping paper, pills, cars, and other creative means. Beth, Ruby, and Annie's criminal activities lead them to get on the wrong side of local criminal, Rio, to whom they end up owing a large sum of money. Rio agrees to let them pay him back, but at a price.

Rio is arrested and his money is destroyed. Once he is out, he takes Dean Boland hostage in his and Beth Boland's house. Rio shoots Dean and lets Beth go because deep down he loves her.

Rio kidnaps FBI agent Jimmy Turner, as he considers him a “bad egg” for Beth. He gives Beth a gun to shoot Turner. Instead, Beth shoots Rio and frees Turner. Turner then asks Beth to leave while he makes a deal with Rio: he will call 911 if Rio agrees to cooperate with the FBI.
