See the films the platforms disagree about most →In a tight-knit, blue-collar neighborhood, a young man is killed in a construction "accident" that was actually a murder. His stepfather, a well-meaning but inept man, tries to raise money for a proper funeral while keeping the truth from the boy's mother. A local columnist senses a story and starts poking around, unsettling the community's code of silence and threatening to expose the messy truth behind the death.
