Here’s the official blurb:

An epic crime thriller exploring the unbreakable bond between fathers to sons, The Place Beyond The Pines follows four men, two generations, as they fight to overcome a legacy of blood.

A mysterious and mythical motorcycle racer, Luke, (Ryan Gosling) drives out of a travelling carnival “globe of death” and whizzes through the backstreets of Schenectady, New York— desperately trying to connect with a former lover, Romina, (Eva Mendes) who recently and secretly gave birth to the stunt rider’s son. In an attempt to provide for his new family, Luke quits the carnival life and commits a series of bank robberies aided by his superior riding ability. The stakes rise as Luke is put on a collision course with an ambitious police officer, Avery Cross, (Bradley Cooper) looking to quickly move up the ranks in a police department riddled with corruption. The sweeping drama unfolds over fifteen years as the sins of the past haunt the present days lives of two high school boys wrestling with the legacy they’ve inherited. The only refuge is found in the place beyond the pines...
