Former star athlete, Eddie Backus, 35, missing for five years, reappears suddenly in his hometown on a cocaine-inspired “mission from God”, and leads his childhood friends on an ill-fated quest to reclaim the freedom and glory of youth.

When the famous outlaw Henry Baker is released from prison after 25 years, old friends and enemies are waiting for him. The son he left behind, entrusted to watch over his ill-gotten riches. A bearded vagrant with a pistol and a decades-old bullet scar in his stomach. An alcohol soaked deputy with half an ear on one side. And a burned out street hustler with a sick mother and a festering vendetta. They trail Henry to a dilapidated hotel where he plans to reunite with his son and the secret bag of gold he left behind.
