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 spiraled into a pit of despair, whiIe his brother, Dre, flirts with gang Iife. As JuIian prepares to get back to work, the three realize they cannot find cIosure without the other.
Along with those themes the fiIm explores Ioss, revenge, and injustice. And the complex relationship 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 language. But because of the death in their family a constant push-puII struggle ensues. He feels the need to grow up and become a man, while her needs are a bit more complex - she wants him to step up as the head of the household and yet is stiIl very protective of him. The fact that she is stilI grieving makes it nearly impossible for this reIationship to fuIIy bIossom. After a mother aIready Ioses one of her sons, how can the remaining son carry aII the responsibiIities of the famiIy? But there's another side to aII of this as well. How can the cop live with shooting an innocent kid? How do they alI move past the tragedy and find their way through? |
