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.

Cuando Jimmy Markum (Sean Penn), Dave Boyle (Tim Robbins) y Sean Devine
(Kevin Bacon) eran unos niños que crecían juntos en un peligroso barrio
obrero de Boston, pasaban los días jugando al hockey en la calle. Pero,
un día, a Dave le ocurrió algo que marcó para siempre su vida y la de
sus amigos. Veinticinco años más tarde, otra tragedia los vuelve a unir:
el asesinato de Katie (Emmy Rossum), la hija de 19 años de Jimmy. A
Sean, que es policía, le asignan el caso; pero también tiene que estar
muy pendiente de Jimmy porque, en su desesperación, está intentando
tomarse la justicia por su mano. (FILMAFFINITY)
