'Lennie Cahill, an old South Sydney crim dying of cancer, is determined to make amends for a 20-year-old unsolved crime and the loss of the people, places and values of an older Sydney. Dodging Twink, a cop on the verge of retirement, he stuns the city with a series of video confessions. But exactly what do Lennie and Twink regret? Making amends is more than saying sorry.'
