Brothers Max and Jake couldn't be more different. Max (Mark Bonnar, Catastrophe) is wealthy with an apparently perfect life. Jake (Jamie Sives, Chernobyl) scrapes by, running a record shop. Driving home late one night, they accidentally kill an old man on a darkened street.
They manage to conceal their crime, but when others suspect the death wasn't as innocent as it first appeared, the brothers' lives start falling apart.
