Brenda Martin (Julianne Moore), a single mom works at a day care at Armstrong housing project in Dempsy, New Jersey. Brenda lives in the small blue-collar town of Gannon, which is connected to Dempsy, but Gannon is considered the better of the two communities. After work, Brenda walks into the emergency room with blood all over her hands, and the Dempsy Police are called to the hospital. Police detective Lorenzo Council (Samuel L. Jackson) is on the case. Brenda tells detective Council that she was carjacked and assaulted by a black man in the housing projects. After some time goes by, Brenda finally breaks down and tells Council that her four-year old son, Cody, was asleep in the back seat of the car. The two communities begin to search for the kidnapped child. However, the carjacking suspect is presumed to come from the projects, and racial tension comes to the surface, pitting the two towns, and the white cops and black cops against each other. Douglas Young (the-movie-guy) (...continued by KrystelClaire) Brenda has to be taken to hospital. She is hysterical, and her two hands are bloodied and wounded, presumably because the male criminal pulled her out of the car violently and dragged her through the leaves and twigs dirty ground. It also happens that Brenda used to be a drug addict five years ago, and that her brother is also a cop. Danny Martin (Ron Eldard) arrives at the hospital from work and produces a caption photograph of the little boy, Cody (Marlon Sherman). She speaks of a mysterious young black man who tapped on the windowglass of her car. Lorenzo knows that the case has potential to escalate out of control because of the race stint of the case. Some of his workmates even deem Lorenzo unfit to lead the case to a good end, because of his diabetes and his unsharp mind. Brenda doesn't seem to take stress well. She was distracted at hospital by the ramblings of several patients (Colman Domingo & Teodorina Bello) in the same room as her. She asks another cop (Jason Furlani) if he's got a child, and he shows a picture he's carrying with him inside of his uniform cap. When pressured by Lorenzo, Brenda seems to be unable to take control of her own emotions, and she slaps herself repeatedly. The area is cordoned off. A man tries to escape from a window, and he eventually falls down. There is chaos everywhere, the police are unable to stop the complaining tenants, and there are questions again of the abilities of Lorenzo to remain detached in the case. Lorenzo accompanies Brenda almost everywhere, even to her home, to check her out. Outside her home, she finds two cars parked, which worries him, so he goes to check them out. Marie (LaTanya Richardson Jackson) says that the matter may escalate out of control, because Brenda was almost a public figure, well-known, cherished and respected in the community, so there's need for the case to be wrapped up nicely and fast. Outside, Lorenzo leaves with the keys of a drunk young man who was about to drive off. The black car follows him in the night with two women in it. Lorenzo talks to them. Karen Collucci (Edie Falco) belongs to an organization who looks for disappeared children. Lorenzo knows that they found the body of a boy, Cory Baker, who had disappeared in another case, so he takes their card. Lorenzo visits his brother, Jason Council (Dorian Missick), who's doing time in jail. He's got himself a tattoo of Tupak, the rapper. They joke about not wanting to have Tiger Woods tattooed in his arms. Other cops, like Lt Gold (Peter Friedman) are going around looking in people's homes almost randomly, which creates more angst and anger in the residents. Lorenzo thinks that nobody in the projects knows anything, in spite of the kidnapping having happened in the woods nearby. Another possibility which is going around is that Brenda is faking everything. She hurt or killed the child and now she's playing the suffering distraught mother, but Lorenzo doesn't really believe in that possibility, as she has looked into his eyes and showed to him how much she's suffering, as he tells to another cop. This other cop tells Lorenzo to pass the case to him, unless he gets burnout. An angry tennant (Gil Deeble) acknowledges Lorenzo "Hey, man, whacha gonna do about this?". Lorenzo sets to work but doesn't answer. Danny is present when Lorenzo tries to question Brenda again. Danny thinks that Brenda may have started to use drugs again, which she denies strongly. When Danny looks at her with skepticism, she starts to bang on a wall with her bandaged swollen hands. Danny leaves, freaked out. Marie and Lorenzo stay with calmed-down Brenda. She puts on her handsets to isolate herself. There is chaos on the projects, with media asking questions, angered tenants and crazy bystanders. Brenda keeps on being vague about what happened that night, so Lorenzo sits down and asks her whether she killed her son. She looks a bit crazy, and as though she were overacting. She says that having her baby made her a million times better. Lorenzo tells her that he believes in god, and that there is something in the back of her head. Lorenzo tells her that he won't rest until he finds her son. When Brenda comes back to her primary school classroom, all the children hug her. She says that she's okay, and she shows her pupils the photograph of Cody. Meanwhile, Lorenzo asks the substitute teacher about Brenda. Lorenzo learns that she didn't work the day of the kidnapping at all. Cheryl Willis (Herself) is on TV, sending a public message asking for the public to give information anonymously; it is also Danny's plea. The cops are going door-to-door asking people about that night, and Rafik (Fly Williams III) runs away. A mother of one of Brenda's pupils tells her to stay away from her child. Back at the police station, the cops hit Rafik for no particular reason. Vicky (Haneefah Wood) and Doreen (Portia) get hysterical when they see that. Rafik's only crime looks to have been possession. His superiors want Lorenzo off the case, but he wants to go on with it, believing that there is a lot Brenda is holding back about what happened that night. He asks Karen for help while Danny keeps on appearing on TV. He asks her whether she has been to Freedomland, and she questions back if they still look for rookies there. Karen talks to Brenda in front to Marie, Louis, Elaine (Donna Cutugno) and Tina (Genevieve Hudson-Price). Brenda doesn't look to be interested in talking to them and refuses to speak of that night. Only 24 hours have passed by at this point. In the area, there are four places where the child could be, but three of them have been eliminated (a park, a golf course, a cemetery), as there is no place to hide there and they have all been checked out. That only leaves them Freedomland, an old estate children's home behind some woods, which was shut down in the 1950's. They are all going there to check it out, including Brenda and Lorenzo. There are leaflets being passed with photographs of Cody Martin. Brenda doesn't want to enter the place. A priest (Philip Bosco) is telling people to enter Freedomland and search the place for Cody's body. There are dogs and hundreds of volunteers with sticks. Elaine and Tina tell their stories, and they are doing that because of sympathy. They look among the debris inside the main building. The place is not too safe, so Lorenzo tells everybody to stay together. Brenda starts whimpering again and doesn't want to be left alone. There are ragged dolls and childrens' shoes everywhere. Brenda first lays herself down and then leaves the building. Karen speaks to her, and Brenda rocks herself back and forth, like a crazy woman. Brenda says that she wasn't there. Finally, she says where Cody is. In the woods, she can't find the exact spot. There are some stones placed in a particular way. Karen finds it, and Brenda says that she buried Cody all on her own. Lorenzo insists that Brenda picks one of the stones: they are really heavy. Brenda couldn't have done it on her own; Lorenzo tells her that one lie more, and he's off the case. Outside, while they take Brenda away, a man is telling everybody that white people still blame all crimes on blacks. They find the body, but Lorenzo is still unsure that she should be charged on homicide grounds. The same cop who first devised and organized the blockade, now wants to get rid of it and wash his hands. Lorenzo says that there was never any reason for the blockade, apart from the cop's attitude, that the blockade would only affect a bunch of black animals on welfare (Lorenzo's quote, not mine). Danny arrives, asking for a lawyer for Brenda. She says that there was a Billy UnknownSurname with her. She used to try to help children at the Rainbow Club. Billy (Anthony Mackie) was unemployed at that time. Felicia thought that he was full of crap, but Brenda identified with him. Brenda can't resist the pressure of having to take care of Cody 24 hours a day. When she wants to go out, sometimes he'd wake up and cry for her. Billy and Brenda want to go out together, but Cody starts calling for her. Cody tells her that if she went, she'd be sorry. There is a lot of rambling on Brenda's part. When she returns home, she smells something awful, probably the cough syrup Cody had on his own. At that point, she is convinced that Cody is dead, because "a mother always knows". Lorenzo tries to tell her that it was an accident. Brenda says she's done and that she wants to be charged. Lorenzo tries to convince to talk about Billy, so that he can be charged as well. Billy took Cody's body wrapped in a blanket and buried him where Brenda told him. Lorenzo's bleeper sounds. Brenda becomes hysterical and asks if Cody is OK. Lorenzo will charge her with homicide. Lorenzo starts speaking into a microphone. Brenda becomes violently hysterical, shouting like a madwoman. Three police officers are needed to take her away. Billy Williams arrives, also arrested. He says to Lorenzo that he only helped Brenda. Meanwhile, there is a riot on the streets. People are running all over the place, there is fire everywhere, Lorenzo and other cops arrive at the place. The riot police and the crowd are face-to-face. Lorenzo and the rest are trying to calm people down. There is a moment of quiet when Lorenzo prevents a boy from burning some boxes. Rafik looks to a particular riot police officer. Lorenzo tells one of the riot police officers to back off so that the people will have the opportunity to back off as well. Rafik steps in and punches one of them, as if he had something private against him. This is an all-out war. Mayhem ensues. Lorenzo gets in the middle and he gets punched / hit with a club. He thinks he sees ---- staring at him. He remembers Cody, the child Brenda thinks she saw at hospital. Lorenzo passes out. A judge (Patricia Mauceri) charges Brenda Martin with the murder of Cody. Her attorney (Richard Price) almost has to answer on her behalf. Lorenzo is there, sad but not hurt. Brenda is on suicide watch. Lorenzo feels responsible somehow. Brenda suddenly blurts out that she loves him and kisses him on his lips and leaves. Lorenzo also checks on his brother. Lorenzo cries and hugs his brother. He goes to the site where Cody's body was found: there is a shrine of photographs, flowers, balloons outside derelict Freedomland.

Vincent Lamarca, whose father was executed for a 1950s kidnapping of a child, grew up to become a police officer, only to see his own son become a murder suspect. New York City homicide detective Vincent LaMarca has forged a long and distinguished career in law enforcement, making a name for himself as a man intensely committed to his work. But on his latest case, the stakes are higher for Vincent--the suspect he's investigating is his own son. He and Joey have been painfully estranged ever since Vincent divorced his wife and left the decaying boardwalks of Long Beach, Long Island for the anonymity of Manhattan and a successful career with the NYPD. He lives his life in solitude, keeping his girlfriend at arm's length; the closest relationship he maintains is with his partner, Reg--and Vincent makes sure that stops at the precinct door. As long as Vincent lives in the protection of the present, he doesn't have to deal with the pain of his past--or his sorrow over his broken relationship with Joey. But this murder investigation is drawing Vincent home to Long Beach, the self-proclaimed City by the Sea, where the past has been waiting for him to return. The agonizing memory that has tortured him all his life--the death of his father, a convicted murderer who was executed when Vincent was just a boy--still plagues him. In the course of the investigation, he discovers that his own unresolved pain and failures as a father have deeply influenced Joey's life, and now his 18-month-old grandson may be fated to follow their self-destructive paths.

Drug dealer Montoya Santana (Edward James Olmos) sits in his prison cell and ponders a letter from Julie, a woman he met on the "outside." She writes that Montoya is two persons: a child and a killer. Montoya agrees, and believes his problems started before he was born. In 1943, Montoya's father, Pedro, was beaten and his mother, Esperanza, was raped by U.S. sailors during the "Zoot Suit Riots" in Los Angeles, California. In 1959, Montoya is abused by his father and joins a gang. One night, he and two gang members, JD and Mundo, sneak into a mausoleum and tattoo their hands with an ink pen to prove solidarity. On their way home, they travel through a rival gang's territory and are chased to a closed diner. Breaking inside, JD is shot by the owner and loses his leg. Montoya and Mundo are sent to a reform school, where Montoya is raped by an older boy. When the assailant cuts Montoya's lip, warning him to remain silent, Montoya wrestles the knife from his hand and plunges it into his neck, killing him. As a result of the killing, Montoya is sentenced to an extended stay in reform school, and when he turns eighteen he is transferred to prison. However, he revels in the respect the other boys give him for killing his attacker. A year later, JD is sentenced to the school. Although JD is not Mexican, Montoya claims he is his "brother." A few years later, Montoya, JD and Mundo all serve time in Folsom Prison, where they operate an empire that includes extortion, gambling, drugs, and prostitution. One day, an African American prisoner steals some drugs as they are being passed along the cells via a gym sock. When Montoya orders Mundo to kill him, the prisoner is burned alive, and a race riot ensues. Montoya is tossed into solitary confinement, and other members of his gang are sent to different prisons. Montoya contacts the gang's lawyer, and orders him to subpoena the gang to discuss a crisis. At the meeting, Montoya explains that a new Mexican prison gang is threatening to overtake their operation, and orders one of his men, "Pie Face," to kill the rival gang leader, "El Chucko." When Pie Face balks because of his friendship with El Chucko, Montoya feigns sympathy, but arranges for Pie Face to be stabbed to death. Later, Montoya, Little Puppet, and other gang members kill El Chucko and a couple of his henchmen. Days later, JD is released from prison, hours before Montoya learns of his mother's death. When Montoya is released and returns to East Los Angeles, he is disappointed to find that the Italian Mafia still controls the neighborhood. Montoya moves in with his father, Pedro, and brother, Paulito. During a block party, Montoya meets Julie, their next-door neighbor, who asks him to dance. He accidentally steps on her feet and apologizes, stating that since he was incarcerated he missed out on learning to dance. Julie's young son, Mico, breaks them up, whining that he is tired. The next day, Montoya visits Mafia boss Don Antonio Scagnelli, and informs him that the Mexican mob is taking over East Los Angeles. Although Montoya threatens Scagnelli's son, who is serving time in Folsom, Scagnelli refuses to be intimidated. That night, Montoya takes Julie out on the first date of his life. They go to the beach, and she teaches Montoya how to drive a car. They make love until Montoya, who has never been with a woman, tries to sodomize her, and she runs away. At the same time, Montoya's gang members rape and murder Scagnelli's son in Folsom Prison. Later, Julie finds her brother dead with a needle in his arm. Montoya learns that over forty overdoses occurred in the barrio in one night, all caused by Scagnelli, who sold uncut heroin in East Los Angeles to avenge his son's death. Realizing Paulito is in danger, Montoya rushes home and chokes his father to make him say where his brother is. Paulito arrives and breaks them up. Montoya checks his brother's arms for needle marks. Finding him "clean," Montoya leaves without an explanation. The next day, Pedro finds Montoya at his mother's grave and tells him about the rape during the Zoot Suit Riots. He says he tried to love his son, but always suspected that he was a child of one of the rapists. Later, Montoya's drug house is attacked by an African American gang that kills the workers by making them inhale heroin. From his prison contacts, Montoya learns that Scagnelli has hired the "Black Guerillas," a gang out of Compton. JD talks Montoya into hiring the "Aryan Brotherhood," a group of neo-Nazis, to kill the Guerillas. The Brotherhood storms a crowded nightclub, screaming racial epithets, and shoots a man in the groin. A few days later, Little Puppet is released from jail and has a church wedding. Montoya sees Julie, but is too frightened to talk to her, and tells JD that the Compton attack made matters worse. JD accuses Montoya of showing weakness. Little Puppet gets drunk and Montoya and Julie walk him home. Julie tells Montoya that she loves the little boy inside him, but hates the criminal he shows to the world. A police car appears, and the cops find drugs in Little Puppet's jacket. Thinking the jacket belongs to Montoya, they arrest him for drug possession and send him back to prison. There, members of the gang want Puppet to kill his younger brother, Little Puppet, as revenge, but Montoya assures him that the young man is safe. However, JD comes to visit and insists that Little Puppet must die for the gang to retain respect. Montoya reminds him that when they went to reform school they thought they had to keep their self-respect by doing horrible things, but in fact, they gave away their self-respect. As JD leaves, he spots Mundo and nods. Mundo tells Puppet that since he brought Little Puppet into the gang, it is now his job to "take him out." Mundo hints that if Puppet does not follow orders, his family will be killed. When Puppet is released, Little Puppet picks him up. On the way home, Puppet asks his brother to pull off the road and strangles him with a piece of rope. Meanwhile, Montoya writes to Julie explaining his newfound realization that his perception of "normal" is distorted. He is trying to change back to the person he was before his life of crime. Before sending the letter, he encloses a St. Dismas medal, the patron saint of the imprisoned, which his mother gave him for protection. Julie later gives it to Paulito, claiming Montoya sent it to him. Later that same day, Mundo and the gang stab Montoya to death as he leaves his cell. Unaware of his brother's death, Paulito recruits several boys to join the gang, and they open fire on a family walking on the sidewalk.
