Back to Newark

Phil Falco, an executive in his late fifties, suddenly finds himself on the unemployment line. Recently divorced, he struggles with alimony, dwindling assets and few prospects. A valuable property at the Jersey Shore should have been his ace in the hole. But a misjudgment made by his best friend Carmine changes everything, drawing Phil into a life and death struggle with the underworld that could cost him his big score. His estranged daughter Lisa, a wannabe actress living in LA, only adds to the chaos. Forced to start over, he returns to Newark, the city he once called home. While he struggles in vain to unravel the mystery of Carmine's involvement with the mob, Phil stumbles onto his own redemption instead.
