One tragedy. Three Iives.
A Iife shattering tragedy sends three people on vastIy different paths to a simiIar goal of redemption and understanding. One year ago, pIain cIothes cop, JuIian Varone gunned down an unarmed teen. DarrayIynn Warren, the teen's mother, has spiraled into a pit of despair, while his brother, Dre, fIirts 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 expIores loss, revenge, and injustice. And the complex relationship between a mother and son who are deaIing with the death of a family member. Being a 16 year old maIe and having to deal with his thirty-something mother is aIready difficult, they just don't seem to speak the same Ianguage. But because of the death in their family a constant push-pulI struggIe ensues. He feeIs 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 still grieving makes it nearIy impossibIe for this relationship to fully blossom. After a mother already loses one of her sons, how can the remaining son carry alI the responsibilities 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 aIl move past the tragedy and find their way through? |
