Plot
Manny (Tim Roth) is a solitary man forced to deal with his painful past when his younger addicted brother Dan (Alexis Arquette) storms in to steal his money, in a futile attempt to buy drugs. After an aggressive and hostile discussion, they slowly reconcile, as circumstances obliged both brothers to walk by their childhood neighborhood, reminding them how happy they were, before the challenges and difficulties of adult life separated them. In a painful road of memories, desolation and reconciliation, both brothers rediscover their mutual love for each other, as Manny tries to inspire Dan to stay clean and earn a living decently. In an attempt to make Dan visit their mother, and show her his love, desire to change, and apologize for everything he has done wrong in the past, Manny employs his best efforts to encourage his brother to arrange his life, quit drugs, and find a decent job. Nonetheless, things seems to always go wrong for the brothers, as Manny's sometimes hard, but always good intentions toward Dan goes wrong again, and a fatality once more struck his lives, reminding both how brutal and hazardous life can be.
