What Doesn’t Kill You 100min
Brian and Paulie are two young punks running loose on
the hard streets of South Boston. Coming from separate
but equally broken homes, the boys bond makes them
brothers. They do whatever it takes to survive, living by the
code of their dog eat dog neighborhood. As Brian and
Paulie get older, petty crimes and misdemeanors grow into
more serious offenses. Eventually, they fall under sway to
the organized crime boss Pat Kelly who runs the felonious
backroom businesses and illicit trades in Southie. They
also find themselves the targets of unwanted attention
from Detective Moran, one of Boston's finest. And Brian in
particular becomes lost in haze of drugs and rebellion.
Even the love he has for his wife Stacy and his children
isn't enough to redeem him. In time, the friends find
themselves in jail just a part of doing business on the
mean streets they call home. Brian and Paulie are
incarcerated long enough to learn a few lessons, but will
they lead to changed lives on the outside? A storm of
trouble is brewing: Paulie has big plans to liberate them
from their life of crime just one more job, one last heist a
bold and potentially violent daylight robbery. But Brian has
used his time in jail to make amends to his family and get
clean. When Paulie comes to him for help, Brian must face
the biggest challenge to his code of honor that he could
ever imagine: stand by his friend or salvage his family he
cannot do both.
