When a mobster returns home after completing a long prison sentence, he is met by several alien elements in his own home. Despite a warm, affectionate welcome from a loving wife, the aloofness of his teenaged daughter is palpable. Additionally, the film makes the effort of bringing in small touches to suggest how tightly a life of incarceration can grasp a person's reality - as exhibited in the rush of consuming his meal by the protagonist. It is only a soft reminder by his wife that allows him to slow down. This is one of the several examples in which it allows the viewer a glimpse of his unease at being inducted into a world that exists beyond prison walls. <br><br> Parallel to this nervousness is another plot, unfolding to lead to grave consequences - the substance abuse and addiction of his daughter which is about to culminate into severe withdrawal. Add to this one more layer to weave a more complex narrative - the presence of an intruder who, armed with a gun, moves stealthily through the house looking for his prey. <br><br> All three of these plot lines are tied together to form an entire whole, also leaving the viewer wanting for more at its uncertain conclusion, and with a hankering to be involved further in the lives of the characters.
