In the bustling and often dangerous environment of New York City in the 1970s, two brothers find themselves on opposite sides of the law. Chris, an ex-convict earnestly trying to leave his life of crime behind, returns home after serving a long sentence. With the desire to redeem himself and reconnect with his family, he faces the challenges of being a newcomer in a world that has changed during his absence.
On the other hand, Frank, his brother, is a determined and effective police detective. However, his career becomes complicated when he learns of Chris's return. As their lives intertwine, the bonds of blood are put to the test, and family loyalty confronts the harsh reality of a corrupt justice system and a vicious cycle of violence.
As Chris struggles to stay away from the old friendships that lure him back into crime, Frank is forced to choose between his duty as a police officer and his love for his brother. In a whirlwind of emotions, betrayed loyalties, and decisions that could change everything, the two men must confront the shadows of their past and decide how far they are willing to go to protect each other. Their story turns into a tense game of cat and mouse, where the cost of redemption could be higher than they ever imagined.
