Ike Randolph got out of jail 15 years ago. Since then, he has not even gotten a speeding ticket, but as an African American man, he always fears the police. The last thing he expects to hear is that his son Isiah has been murdered along with his white husband Derek. Ike never totally accepted his son, but now he is devastated by the tragedy. Derek's father, Buddy Lee, was as ashamed of his son being gay as Derek was of his father for being a criminal. Buddy still has connections with the underworld, and he wants to know who killed his son. Ike and Buddy, two ex-cons with little in common, unite in their quest for vengeance. They will try to do more for their children now that they are dead than they did while they were alive.
