After years of estrangement, a drunken father learns that his son is about to inherit a vast fortune from his late mother. Unbeknownst to the son, a corrupt millionaire seeks to steal the inheritance by hiring a gang to kill him. As the father stumbles upon this deadly plot, his long-buried instincts to protect his child resurface. Battling his own demons, he embarks on a dangerous mission to save his son from the millionaire's murderous clutches. What begins as an attempt to thwart a murder turns into a father's quest for redemption, as he struggles to reconnect with the son he had abandoned long ago. In the face of peril, both father and son must confront their past and the shadows of greed, betrayal, and family legacy.
