The three dysfunctional sons of a drunken womanizer receive an unexpected surprise when they gather together for the reading of their late father's will in this adventure crime drama starring John Cena and Ethan Embry. Sam (Cena) and Leo Cleary (Embry) have the same despicable father but come from two different mothers. Growing up, they couldn't stand the sight of each other. These days, the only thing Sam and Leo can agree on is their mutual distain for their younger brother, Douglas (Boyd Holbrook), who comes from yet another mother and can't seem to stay out of trouble. Though they've only just met Douglas, it's apparent from the beginning that their little sibling means trouble. When their wealthy father passes away, their sister, Nina (Amy Smart), calls the three brothers together to find out how the old man's fortune will be divvied up. Now, in order to get their inheritance, the siblings who hate each other's guts must team up to track down the parole violator who has left bail bondsman Leo treading water in a sea of debt. Later, in one of the most secluded regions of Mexico, Sam, Leo, and Douglas cross the path of a dangerous drug lord and incur the wrath of a murderous businessman (Michael Rispoli) who will stop at nothing in his quest for power. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

When fate brings Charlie and his former college roommate Alan Johnson (Don Cheadle) together once again on a Manhattan street corner, Alan is shocked to see just how far his old friend has fallen.
