Decent Canadian thriller about four days in the life of a teenager on the lam. Kevin Zegers stars as Simon, a normal teenager leading a seemingly normal life. His life is turned upside down when he learns that his father is actually a thief. When his father’s last heist goes bad, Simon finds himself on the run with a bag full of loot.
