Following a tragic schoolbus accident, high-profile lawyer Mitchell Stephens descends upon a small town. With promises of retribution and a class-action lawsuit filed on behalf of the grieving community, Stephens begins his investigation into the details of the crash. But beneath the town's calm, he uncovers a tangled web of lies, deceit and forbidden desires that mirrors his own troubled personal life. Gradually, we learn that Stephens has his own agenda, and that everyone has secrets to keep.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

less is submitted by lekendrick on September 23, 2010, 11:44am above average, but solid! Not, excellent! It's best for what you'd expect from a major motion picture scenery the symbolic flat! It's a pinch of this & dash of that! "Adopted Indian boys, judges like that!" as well the movie going public, it's the story of a tort lawsuit! If the lack of shocking twist or turn bother, it's not meant suspense it's better than most hour long drama @ very best! An the skill with which pieced together discounted by objection all the pretty picture, as well? Side story a tale of abuse in style just day passed!

Great movie submitted by ashflowtuff on August 15, 2011, 2:45pm I thought this was a really excellent movie. Very powerful. One of the few movies that is as good as (or maybe better than?) the book. Also love the soundtrack.

ok, but a bit depressing. submitted by Tassos on November 15, 2021, 9:35am saw most of it, incl the end, while i was multitasking.
