Patriarchs of a small crime family, father and son Bill and Karl have just been released from jail, but all is not well on Down Terrace. Their business is plagued with infighting - Karl is sick of his old man's philosophizing and preaching, and Bill thinks Karl's dedication to the family is compromised by an estranged girlfriend. To make matters worse, there's an unidentified informant in their midst who could send them all to prison for a very long time.
