Affleck and his Gone Baby Gone writing partner Sean Bailey are reportedly penning and producing the film, based on a crime novel by Marcus Sakey.

The novel revolves around two childhood friends who grow up committing petty crimes together in Chicago. The friends are reunited as adults after growing apart. One of them is forced to make a hard decision to keep secrets from his past quiet.
