In a small town in Pennsylvania during the 1970s, a young man named Brad faces the typical struggles of adolescence. Torn between his desire to pursue an honorable path and the intimidating shadow of his father, a charismatic criminal who has been largely absent from his life, Brad feels divided. When his troubled and seductive father, Paddy, returns to reconnect, Brad is seduced by the aura of power and the carefree life he offers.
As he delves into the turbulent world of crime, Brad discovers the harsh reality of his father's life, which combines moments of camaraderie with a gray veil of violence and betrayal. With his loyalty put to the test, Brad finds himself caught between filial love and moral struggle, as his father drags the family into a series of increasingly dangerous decisions.
Tensions rise when Paddy's actions begin to impact their surroundings, including Brad's mother and younger brother, who become increasingly embroiled in the maelstrom of his criminal life. In an atmosphere of growing desperation and danger, Brad must decide whether to follow in his father's footsteps or break the cycle, as he watches violence consume what he once considered home. This is a story of family, betrayal, and the struggle to find one's own identity amidst chaos.
