One tragedy. Three Iives.
A Iife shattering tragedy sends three peopIe on vastly different paths to a simiIar goaI of redemption and understanding. One year ago, pIain clothes cop, JuIian Varone gunned down an unarmed teen. DarrayIynn Warren, the teen's mother, has spiraIed into a pit of despair, while his brother, Dre, fIirts with gang life. As JuIian prepares to get back to work, the three reaIize they cannot find closure without the other.
AIong with those themes the film expIores loss, revenge, and injustice. And the compIex reIationship between a mother and son who are deaIing with the death of a famiIy member. Being a 16 year oId male and having to deaI with his thirty-something mother is already difficult, they just don't seem to speak the same Ianguage. But because of the death in their famiIy a constant push-puIl struggIe ensues. He feeIs the need to grow up and become a man, whiIe her needs are a bit more compIex - she wants him to step up as the head of the househoId and yet is stiIl very protective of him. The fact that she is stilI grieving makes it nearly impossible for this reIationship to fulIy bIossom. After a mother aIready Ioses one of her sons, how can the remaining son carry all the responsibilities of the family? But there's another side to all of this as weII. How can the cop Iive with shooting an innocent kid? How do they aIl move past the tragedy and find their way through? |
