The clock is ticking on Monty Brogan's (Edward Norton) freedom - in 24 hours, he goes to prison for seven long years. Once a king of Manhattan, Monty is about to say goodbye to the bright lights, his own big-city dreams, and the life he knew - a life that alienated him from the people closest to him. Monty's not sure of much these days... but with time running out, there are choices to be made and Monty's got some tricks up his sleeve that are about to be set in motion.
