Adapted from Dennis Lehane's bestselling novel, Academy Award® winner CLINT EASTWOOD stays behind the camera, and again proves himself an excellent actors' director. SEAN PENN gives an outstanding performance as Jimmy, a storekeeper with a shady past who is gutted by grief when his teenage daughter is murdered. City detective Sean (KEVIN BACON) investigates and suspicion lingers over their mutual childhood friend, Dave (TIM ROBBINS), whose youth was scarred by kidnapping and sexual abuse. Dave is now a married family man, but nonetheless locked in the past and haunted by his memories.
