Wheeler-dealing Andy has a drug habit and a failing marriage. His bother Hank has his problems too - he has huge debts and is behind on his alimony to his ex-wife and daughter. He's also having an affair with Gina, Andy's wife. When Andy suggests they rob their parent's jewellery store as a solution to their money worries, weak-willed Hank agrees... and finds himself in charge.

Hank hires gun-toting thug Bobby to carry out the robbery. But unexpectedly, the boys' mother, Nannette is running the store that day. Events take a tragic turn and Hank, waiting in the getaway car, is racked with guilt.

Their father, Charles, determines to find the perpetrators and bring them to justice- and is led to the disturbing and devastating truth.

A family unravels in this powerful and moving contemporary tragedy.
