Plot

After fifteen years, three old friends are forced to revisit the one night that changed their lives forever.

In order to evade a lengthy prison sentence, Russ Mahler, a career criminal, blackmails his former friend and Manhattan District Attorney Graham Seifert. With his hands tied, Graham has Russ acquitted, and on insistence of his friend and Chief of Staff Evan Midland, the three men meet for a weekend at Graham's Hampton beach house to finally bury their memory of the night from fifteen years ago. All past grievances surface in an explosive night that alters the trajectories of all their lives.[3]
