On this particular weekend, the father of the two men come to visit to borrow money from the older brother. The drama unfolds as drug pushers start to close in on unpaid debts, the wife reveals how she feels about her brother-in-law, the father is becoming restless with getting his money, and the older brother starts to buckle to as the pressure is unbearable and something has to give, as everyone is reliant on him in some form or another to provide what hey individually need.
