A morally complex noir tragedy about ambition and corruption that fractures a brotherly bond, steeped in the visual and thematic darkness of 1950s crime cinema.

Lawyer Joe Morse wants to consolidate all the small-time numbers racket operators into one big powerful operation. But his elder brother Leo is one of these small-time operators who wants to stay that way, preferring not to deal with the gangsters who dominate the big-time.
