💥 Plot: A Criminal’s Past Comes Back to Haunt Him

Vincent (Ed Harris) is a reformed criminal trying to live a peaceful life—until his past comes knocking.

His ex-wife, Ruth (Jennifer Coolidge), and their murderous son, Rocco (Lewis Pullman), reappear, setting off a chain reaction of betrayals, violence, and darkly funny mishaps.

Meanwhile, Vincent’s current wife, Sandy (Gabrielle Union), gets tangled in the chaos, while Leftie (Bill Murray)—a powerful yet eccentric crime boss—adds another layer of unpredictability to the mix.

With hired goons, hidden agendas, and a long-awaited reckoning looming, Riff Raff is a wild mix of crime, dark comedy, and dysfunctional family drama.
