Three childhood friends in Boston living in the same neighborhood as adults find their lives intersecting after the daughter of one of them is murdered. One friend, now a detective for the state police, suspects the third, who is dealing with a traumatic event in their childhood. As the police detectives slowly zero-in on a suspect, the father of the murdered girl takes matters into his own hands. The trio of lead actors, Sean Penn, Kevin Bacon and Tim Robbins, have a field day with the material, but it is Penn who has the most emotional impact as the grieving father turned vigilante.
