Skip it tonight unless you're desperate for low-stakes crime drama—this redemption-and-revenge tale hits familiar beats without the star power or critical buzz to elevate it beyond straight-to-streaming mediocrity. The premise of an ex-con trying to go straight before everything falls apart is solid, but there's nothing here that screams 'must-watch' over the hundred other thrillers demanding your attention.

Plot

Ex-con Russell Gaines is attempting to rebuild his life with the help of his father, Mitchell. However, the arrival of Maben sends his new life into chaos, leading the pair to go on the run - as their violent pasts catch up to them, the pair must learn to trust each other if they hope to live out the rest of their days.
