A brutal home-jacking goes hopelessly wrong. Dave, one of the two robbers, manages to run off, leaving his brother Kenneth behind. Four years later, Kenneth is released from prison and much has changed. Dave has his life back on track and is trying to help Kenneth however possible, but is witnessing how the highly strung Kenneth tries to win back his ex-girlfriend Sylvie.

Notes
An thoroughly enjoyable pulp thriller with a more or less predictable outcome -- Said to be Director Robin Point's first feature length film -- I expect we will see more of his craftmanship.
