Synopsis

As children, Nick and his younger brother care for their baby brother while their mother struggles with alcoholism. Tragically, the baby dies, and both brothers feel responsible. Many years later, Nick is released from prison after serving time for assault. He lives in a shelter, drinks heavily, and tries to assist an old friend. When their mother passes away, Nick reunites with his brother at the funeral. The brother, who remains unnamed, is a single father to a young boy and also battles a worsening drug addiction. When the chance arises, he turns to drug dealing in an effort to secure his son's future. Eventually, the two brothers meet again.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 21

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
