A film about the suffocating love between a father and son

Lei is a wandering soul in his fifties who lives at the bottom of the social ladder. He does everything within and outside the law in order to survive. A man who does as much harm to his body as to society. The only one he cares about is his son Jeffrey. His biggest fear is losing the respect of his son, whom he raised by himself. When Jeffrey finds out that Lei has a debt with Vester, a charismatic criminal with a lot of contacts in the Limburg underworld, he does what every loving son would do: he assumes the debt. Without Lei's knowledge, Jeffrey starts to do jobs for Vester. His star rises, his desire for money and power grows. Lei's desperate attempts to keep his son with him result in an even worse estrangement. Jeffrey's new girlfriend Nicole increasingly urges for reconciliation, but she's too late and fate strikes.
