After serving a two-year sentence in Louisiana State Penitentiary in Angola for drug dealing, recovering addict, and gambler Tommy Turner is determined to make amends with his ex-wife and young son, Jamey. Haunted by his father's destructive behavior, which resulted in a ruined football career, failed marriage, and untimely death, Tommy vows to do better by Jamey. However, his path is obstructed by his childhood friend, Glenn Rosen, who has taken on the role of surrogate father to Jamey in Tommy's absence. Glenn views Tommy as a deadbeat who will never amount to anything, but he is also facing his own personal demons. A lifelong gay man, Glenn has unexpectedly fallen for a woman, causing him to question his identity and the life he has built.

When ailing New Orleans mafia boss Carlo Bianchi seeks revenge on Tommy, chaos ensues, and Tommy and Glenn are forced to rely on each other to protect Jamey from an unsettling future. With a lifetime of disappointments behind him, can Tommy save his son from his father's legacy of a broken childhood?
