Val (Al Pacino) is released from prison after serving twenty-eight years for refusing to rat on one of his close criminal associates. His best friend Doc (Christopher Walken) is there to pick him up, and the two soon reteam with another old pal, Hirsch (Alan Arkin). The three, reflect on freedom lost and gained, loyalties and days of glory gone by. Despite their age, their capacity for mayhem is still very much alive and well, as they make an effort to compensate for the decades of crime, drugs and sex they’ve missed.

But one of the friends harbours a dangerous secret and as the sun rises on their reunion, their position becomes more desperate. They must confront their past once and for all.
