Blood Ties (2013)
Film Synopsis
New York, 1974. Chris, a man in his 50s, is released from prison after serving a stretch for a revenge killing. He is met at the prison gates by his younger brother, Frank, who has made up his mind to help Chris start a new life on the straight and narrow. Now a promising cop, Frank has been estranged from Chris for many years, something that has not been helped by their father's preference for his eldest son. Despite his deeply rooted antipathy for Chris, Frank provides him with a place to stay and a job. But Chris's criminal past soon catches up with him and Frank refuses to have anything more to do with him. Unfortunately, blood ties are not so easily severed...© James Travers
