Brad Whitewood Jr. lives in rural Pennsylvania and has few prospects. Against his mother's wishes, he seeks out his estranged father, the head of a gang of thieves in a nearby town. Though his new girlfriend supports his criminal ambitions, Brad Jr. soon learns that his father is a dangerous man.

Two brothers stuck in an impoverished household; their father, a notorious professional criminal, drifts in every now and then to leave them some money, but he never stays.

Eventually, the father agrees to plan petty heists for the older brother's gang. The father's truly evil nature is revealed when he willingly sacrifices his sons to save his own life.
