A family tragedy leaves deep scars and affects two brothers to choose different paths in their future. Jason (Allen Payne) becomes a responsible young man who works as an assistant manager and sales clerk in a Houston electronic shop and lives with his hard-working-but-loving mom, Gloria (Suzzanne Douglas). Joshua (Bokeem Woodbine) is the younger brother, just released from prison. Previously traumatized by his late father, Joshua has become a volatile, disturbed ex-con who is obviously bound for a violent end: dealing drugs for short-term cash and joining a gang that is planning a bank robbery. Throughout the film, Jason and his mother try their best to make Joshua repent and change both his attitude and his ways. Unfortunately, Joshua has difficulties in staying out of trouble with both law and authority.
