A neo-noir con-artist thriller built on family betrayal and moral compromise, where a son's attempt to honor his father's dying wish spirals into increasingly dangerous deception.

After he accidentally kills his father Mike during a sting, Joe tries to carry out Mike's dying wish by recovering valuables that Mike's twin brother Lou stole from him years earlier. But Uncle Lou is also a confidence artist, and Joe is soon drawn into his increasingly dangerous schemes.
