Parents' Guide to A Score to Settle

Frank (Nicolas Cage) has just been released from prison after serving time for nearly 20 years, and he has A SCORE TO SETTLE. He was a mob enforcer who took the fall for his boss after his boss clubbed a man to death with a baseball bat. Outside the prison gates, he's met by his now adult son Joey (Noah Le Gros), who is ambivalent at best upon reuniting with his father. After Frank finds the bag of money that was buried for him upon release from prison, he wants to take his son on a spending spree -- staying in a luxury hotel, buying expensive suits and watches, and fine dining. The other reason Frank wants to do this is because he's dying. Reconnecting with his son isn't the only item on Frank's agenda. He also wants to get even with his former mob cronies, who didn't hold up their end of the bargain: Frank's wife died while he was incarcerated, and his son sunk into the depths of drug addiction. The first crony Frank reconnects with is Q (Benjamin Bratt), who is now out of the game and running a high-end bar. Q tells Frank where he can find such betrayers like Jimmy the Dragon and The Tank, but as Frank begins to exact revenge, his quest puts his reborn relationship with his son in jeopardy, as well as the unlikely romance that seems to be forming between him and Simone, a sex worker who sees the good in Frank. Frank must decide if it's better to make the best of what he has with the time he has left, or to fulfill his plan of getting even.
