A man becomes increasingly jealous of his friend's newfound success.
An ex-con moves to L.A. to find work and creates a disturbance by fighting for a position. More importantly he touches the lives of many of his neighbors including an older man dying of cancer, a young married couple whose husband is too proud to accept a lesser position which causes strife with his wife, and a young boy on the verge of getting in trouble with street gangs.
A dying man with a criminal past is given 24 hours to return from exile, make peace with his family and his aging ex-accomplice, but the vengeful crime boss who banished him is determined to have his revenge.
