When a signing for his latest book brings him back home to Brooklyn for the first time in many years, he is forced to confront the life he left behind, and the people he would sooner forget. An adaptation of the Pete Hamill short story "The Book Signing."

Three years ago, Ares turned his back on his criminal family; reporting them to the police and eventually finding peace with his new boyfriend Bennet. He knew this peace wouldn’t last, as an established rule granted him only three years before he would be hunted down. Surely enough, in the present day, Ares is visited by his brother and sister; who hold him captive in his own apartment and deliver a warning that he will soon be captured and tortured to a greater extent. His sister Maura offers him a chance to escape, but Ares decides to stay and wait for his punishment in order to protect Bennet.
