Jimmy isn’t really a bad guy. Sure, he has his vices. He likes his drink, and there are the weekly scenarios with women of questionable virtue, but overall, he’s not that bad a guy. In fact, he even went out of his way to help his uncle Hodge (Al Rossi) who has fallen on desperate times, telling a prospective employer that the older man has held a steady job with his company. It seemed harmless enough a lie, and besides, whom would it hurt? What Jimmy didn’t take into consideration was that Hodge’s son Andrew (Steve Wilcox) has his own very personal reasons for not wanting anyone to help his father. And anyone who does is going to be punished. And that includes his cousin Jimmy. Suddenly, Jimmy’s life is turned upside down as Andrew vows retaliation that will leave Jimmy in much the same situation as the uncle he tried to help. Faced with losing his job, Jimmy tries to seek out Andrew and find a way to keep him from destroying his life. In the course of his quest, Jimmy is ultimately confronted with a choice.  The action he takes can save his job, but will cost another human being his life, leaving Jimmy to wonder if resilience is the middle ground between adversity and cruelty.
