In 1992, Mercer is desperately trying to rebuild his life and his relationship with his son amidst the turbulent Los Angeles uprising following the Rodney King verdict. Across town, another father and son put their own strained relationship to the test as they plot a dangerous heist to steal catalytic converters, which contain valuable platinum from the factory where Mercer works. As tensions rise and chaos erupts, both families reach their boiling points when their worlds collide.
Editor's Verdict
"The movie is explicitly set during the 1992 Los Angeles uprising, with no mention of the Christmas season in the setting, plot, or themes. The core narrative revolves around crime, a heist, and civil unrest, which are completely disconnected from typical Christmas elements."
