The lives of three men who were childhood friends are shattered when one of them has a family tragedy.
Clint Eastwood directs this drama based on the novel by Dennis Lehane. Set in the Irish community of Boston, it follows three childhood friends who have drifted apart over the years owing to a violent and disturbing experience they shared as children, until they are forcibly reunited many years later following another tragic event. When ex-con Jimmy Markum (Sean Penn)'s 19-year-old daughter is murdered, the homicide detectives assigned to the case are Whitney Powers (Laurence Fishburne) and Jimmy's old friend Sean Devine (Kevin Bacon). Behind the scenes, Jimmy asks two of his relatives, the Savage brothers, to mount their own investigation and suspicion settles on the final person in the trio, Dave Boyle (Tim Robbins), who is now a broken man. The cast also includes Marcia Gay Harden and Laura Linney.
