In an attempt to get his house in order, he was set to change his will from his oldest son Rourke, whom he feels can no longer handle the responsibility, to Rourke’s younger brother. Rourke catches wind of his father’s plan and decides to take matters into his own hands. He sends Ray, a hired hit man with his own issues, to finish him off before he has the chance to take away what Rourke believes is rightfully his. Inescapable is the conversation between Leonard and Ray as Leonard desperately tries to convince Ray to switch sides.
