Vincent must choose between his duty as a cop—hunting down a fugitive—and his guilt as a father trying to save his son. As he investigates, he uncovers evidence that Joey may be innocent of murder, but the system and his own partner are closing in.
Vincent ultimately follows the truth, not procedure. He confronts Joey, helps expose the real killer, and reconciles with his son—accepting that breaking the cycle of “family failure” means choosing compassion over legacy.
Vincent’s estranged son, Joey (James Franco), is a struggling drug addict and petty thief. When a drug deal goes horribly wrong, Joey is framed for the murder of a corrupt dealer. He flees, becoming the target of a citywide manhunt.
