A Man Askew, A Man Askew

At the funeral for a legendary, old school police detective named Burke T. Renshaw, his son Dexter is confronted by an ex-con who demands a key to a safe deposit box the detective promised to hold for him while he was in prison. Dexter soon learns it's a key to a secret that his father had taken with him to his grave. And when he sets out to make sense of his father's association with this criminal, he is swept up in a stream of shifting explanations, deception, corruption, and murder stemming from a simple carjacking that occurred a dozen years earlier. When the pieces of the puzzle begin to fall into place, Dexter faces some hard truths about his father and comes to see him in a damning new light. Meanwhile, with his own life unraveling, he sees himself in a damning new light as well; he sees A Man Askew.
