Like father.
Like son.
Like hell.
Brad (Sean Penn) is a high school dropout, living on the wrong side of the tracks. He longs for an exciting way out of his dead-end, small-town existence. Escape looks likely when he is re-united with his long-lost father Brad Sr. (Christopher Walken), the swaggering, arrogant leader of a gang of successful thieves. He offers his son a home, a fortune, money, friendship - and a chance to learn the 'business'.
But the forces which draw deserting father and wayward son together also set them on a path which leads inexorably to tragedy...and cold-bloodied murder.
