Thug parks his car a block away from the small house he is renting and remembers a story from his childhood: at nine he fought a boy at school because his father told him, "Don't be a pussy." He says the line aloud as if proving the lesson still matters. Later, he rides with Kyle Conner, the son of his employer Charlie Conner, to a coastal fishery where Kyle tries to negotiate a supply deal. The supplier bristles when Kyle probes what the shipment actually contains and one of his men grows aggressive. Thug steps forward, speaks in a low voice and orders the man to stand down; he promises to break the subordinate's shoulders if he does not. The supplier laughs nervously and they complete the transaction.

Back in the car, Kyle scolds Thug for speaking up, and Thug tells Kyle to stop acting like a child if he wants people to follow him. Kyle, jittery and cocky, snorts cocaine and brags, while Thug warns that the drug will make him paranoid. Later, at the mattress store that serves as Charlie Conner's legitimate front, Charlie quizzes Thug about the fishery meeting. Thug tries to shield Kyle, claiming the price was fair, but Charlie sees through him; he knows his son's inexperience and berates Kyle's choice to join the family business after college instead of becoming a lawyer as Charlie had hoped. Charlie gives Thug another assignment and, watching Thug struggle to recall details, asks if he is all right. Thug lies that he has headaches and slips outside to consult a small notebook in which he has begun writing reminders -- on one page he writes plainly that Charlie Conner is his boss.

At a neighborhood gym Thug spars with a young boxer, trading blows and taking some hits. In the locker room afterwards he reminds the gym owner about the protection money and collects it. He goes to his usual bar and argues with the bartender over drinks until a loud dispute erupts at the far end of the room. A man and a woman argue violently and Thug tells the man to take it outside. When the man threatens him, Thug delivers a single punch that drops him. The woman at the center of the fight yells that Thug killed her boyfriend; Thug shrugs and returns to his seat. After the bar closes, the same woman -- who later is identified as the woman played by Yolanda Ross -- confronts him in the street, half-amused and half-aggrieved, and asks who will walk her home. Thug walks her back, they talk in her apartment and he aggressively kisses her until she tells him to slow down. They have sex and, afterward, talk about scars and tattoos. She notices the name "Loopy" etched in his skin and asks who it belongs to; he answers tersely that it was for a woman he loved who slept with his friends. She calls it romantic and the conversation stays on intimate, fractured ground.

The next morning Thug leaves and gets a call from Charlie to pick up a shipment of pills from Dr. Gruber. At the doctor's small office, Thug negotiates the price like a professional. Dr. Gruber presses him when she notices Thug's absent moments and suggests he get checked by a neurologist. Thug follows her advice and meets with a physician who exams him and delivers a blunt diagnosis: Thug has chronic traumatic encephalopathy, CTE. The doctor explains his cognitive decline will worsen and that eventually he may require full-time care. The news lands like a physical blow. At home, Thug slides a gun from the nightstand and trains it toward himself, intending to end things before his condition strips away the life he can still control. As he lifts the barrel he notices a small child in the street outside, a little girl who gives him the middle finger with a grin. The gesture stops him; he lowers the gun and does not pull the trigger.

That afternoon Thug calls his estranged daughter Daisy. Daisy answers with anger and flat refusal: she will not see him. He asks about his son and cannot find the name in his memory; Daisy spits the name back at him -- Colin -- then tells him Colin died two years earlier. Thug is stunned, slapping his forehead and murmuring a curse. He drives to the cemetery, searches the rows and finds Colin's headstone; he shoves dirt and grass away with his hands, mutters at the inattentive groundskeeper and storms off.

Thug goes to Daisy's rental house to try again. He notices a "for sale" sign on the door and circles to the back where he finds Daisy and her children. Daisy tolerates him only long enough to refuse a simple offer to take them out to dinner. She tells him she is selling because the landlords are evicting her. She names her children: a daughter Katie and a young son Dre. Daisy calls him an asshole and accuses him of being the kind of father that breeds more assholes; she will not allow him into her life. He leaves, subdued and ashamed.

That night Thug dreams of his own father and wakes with a vision of an engine that plays music and an insistence that maybe he is not forgiven but could be different. He reconnects briefly with the woman from the bar. She jokes about him being a gangster and they spend the day together while he tries to reconcile his failing memory with the life he has led. During the day he receives another call from Charlie: an assignment in New York. Thug massages his phone and tells the woman he must go. She asks for a kiss and he refuses, claiming he has no time.

He and Kyle drive to New York in a rented moving truck they exchange with a contact. Once on the highway a police cruiser pulls behind them and Kyle panics. To keep the cop's attention away from Kyle's visibly shaking behavior, Thug shoves Kyle to the floor of the cab. The officer slows and then drives past. When the cruiser is gone, Kyle pops back up and brags to Thug he will speak to his father about respect. Thug warns him again that respect must be earned. During the trip Kyle snorts cocaine, confirming Thug's concerns.

The moving truck stops in the backyard of a suburban house owned by a man named Gamberro. Gamberro tells them to park out of sight. Kyle suggests they get out, but Thug tells him to stay. Thug hears muffled screams from inside and a woman at a window reaches toward the cab. Her name is Araceli and she throws herself against the glass, begging for help. Two of Gamberro's men drag her away. Thug feels a shard of glass tear his palm as she claws at the driver's door and his hand starts to bleed. That cut and the woman's pleading make him realize the shipments he has helped move are not pills or legal goods but people: women trafficked for sex. He stares at his bloody palm and shuts down, overwhelmed with guilt at how many times he has been complicit.

Back home, the realization spreads into action. He tries to find a way to free Araceli and the other women and begins to gather money. He confronts Charlie about what he has learned and comes to suspect that Charlie and Kyle manipulate the operations and are willing to set him up if it suits them. When he confirms that Charlie and Kyle conspired to put him in harm's way, he decides to take matters into his own hands. He breaks into Charlie's mattress store office, forces open the safe, and during the confrontation kills Charlie Conner. He takes cash from the safe; the scene ends with Charlie dead at Thug's hands.

Thug uses the stolen money to arrange a down payment on a house for Daisy through an attorney he trusts. He then goes to Gamberro to purchase Araceli's freedom. At Gamberro's establishment he demands payment be returned and freedom given to the women held there. Gamberro feigns cooperation at first, then tries to get the upper hand. In a sudden, violent moment Gamberro produces a blade and stabs Thug repeatedly. Thug staggers under the blows; blood flows freely from the wounds Gamberro inflicts. As Thug fights to stay upright, one of the women Gamberro had trafficked -- a survivor living in that room -- lunges forward. She seizes a weapon from nearby or wrestles Gamberro and forcefully kills him, ending his control in a sudden, brutal reversal. Gamberro dies at the hands of one of his victims.

Thug is gravely wounded from the stabbing. While the woman's action frees the other captives, Thug's body slides toward collapse. He uses what strength remains to see his plans through. He arranges for Daisy's housing deposit to go through the lawyer and, despite the bleeding and the delirium, he returns to the presence of his granddaughter and grandson to say goodbye. He sits with Dre, touches the boy's head and tries to impart a last kind of care. The wounds won't stop bleeding, and his speech grows faint. He kisses Daisy's forehead and tells her to live.

Unable to reach his own home because of his condition, Thug breaks into a nearby house and curls up on a bed as dawn approaches. A wind chime in the garden tinkles in the morning air and he listens, the sound steady and simple. He stares out toward the horizon as sunlight spills across the room. His breath slows. As the sun rises higher, his eyes close and his chest stills. The camera pulls away from the house and lingers on the shore; the final image is the ocean, restless under morning light, while Thug's life ends from the multiple stab wounds inflicted by Gamberro. He dies where he lies, his last actions ensuring his daughter and grandchildren will have a home. The film ends with the empty shoreline and the implication that the man who has lived by violence has finally run out of days.
