A dark, melancholic crime drama about a man forced to confront his violent past when tragedy thrusts an unexpected family responsibility upon him.

A quiet, stoic man, lives a monk-like existence in self-imposed exile. When his estranged son is killed in a drug deal gone bad, he is left to look after a granddaughter he never knew existed, and he is forced back into a life he tried to put behind him.
