Childhood friends Brian and Paulie do whatever it takes to survive in the dog-eat-dog neighborhood they live in. As they grow up they find themselves involved in organized crime and jail becomes part of doing business on the streets they call home. Brian uses his time in jail to get clean while Paulie makes plans for one last job that requires Brian's help. Brian must decide if he should stand by his friend or salvage his family.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Intriguing, enough... submitted by Steve Amick on August 12, 2015, 8:06am ...once you stop wondering if they're just dirtbags and this is going nowhere but chaos. The story structure is a little odd and back-heavy. Meaning you have to get through what appears to be a lot of episodic nihilism. And they really bury the lead: watch the guy playing the local crew boss--that's the director and writer and the real life subject of the movie (Ruffalo's part.) I would have liked to have caught on to that earlier. It might have helped me better understand what to focus on here.
