A woman tries to juggle the needs of her family against the demands of her late husband's gangland firm. Her eldest daughter and son are keeping things ticking over nicely, but their younger brother is a disturbed individual who nobody can second guess. Everybody has cause to worry when he demands to join the firm but they allow him to do so in the belief that they can keep their eye on him better if he is working alongside them. Their biggest mistake is in underestimating him, and it could prove to be their downfall.
