Fresh out of prison after serving time for murder, Adam returns to his old stomping grounds to seek out a son who doesn't know him. Eli, the brother of the man he killed is looking for revenge. Mike, is trying to escape a life of crime living under the thumb of his gangster Uncle.
When an abrasive old man suddenly dies in the apartment of a neighbor, an absurd game of hot potato begins with the not-so-dearly departed, as neighbors and building workers each pass the body along, in the hopes of not being linked to the old man’s demise.
Taking place during the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, this coming-of-age thriller is framed against the backdrop of West Los Angeles' punk and skateboard culture.
