When they were
kids growing up together in a rough section of Boston, Jimmy Markum (SEAN
PENN), Dave Boyle (TIM ROBBINS) and Sean Devine (KEVIN BACON) spent their days
playing stickball on the street, the way most boys did in their blue-collar
neighborhood of East Buckingham. Nothing much ever happened in their
neighborhood. That is, until Dave was forced to take the ride that would change
all of their lives forever.
Twenty-five years
later, the three find themselves thrust back together by another life altering
event – the murder of Jimmy’s 19-year-old daughter. Now a cop, Sean is assigned
to the case and he and his partner (LAURENCE FISHBURNE) are charged with
unraveling the seemingly senseless crime. They must also stay one step ahead of
Jimmy, a man driven by an all consuming rage to find his daughter’s killer.
Connected to the
crime by a series of circumstances, Dave is forced to confront the demons of
his own past. Demons that threaten to destroy his marriage and any hope he may
have for a future. As the investigation tightens around these three friends, an
ominous story unfolds that revolves around friendship, family and innocence
lost too soon. (filmaffinity.com)
