Manny, Tim Roth, is a solitary man forced to face his painful past when his younger addicted brother Dan, Alexis Arquette, storms in to steal his money in a futile attempt to buy drugs. After a tense, aggressive confrontation, the two brothers begin a slow, fragile reconciliation as they walk through memories along their old childhood neighborhood, a place that seems to shimmer with the happiness they once shared before life’s pressures and choices pulled them apart.
