A gritty, morally murky portrait of a working-class neighborhood where loyalty, shame, and desperation collide over a death that won't stay buried.

A boozy lowlife tries to bury the truth about his crazy stepson's suspicious death, but a nosy newspaper columnist and the young man's mother complicate matters.
