The movie opens with Brenda (Julianne Moore) wandering through the Projects at night. She eventually comes to a hospital, goes into the emergency room and reveals her hands, which are cut and covered in blood.
The movie cuts to Lorenzo (Samuel L. Jackson), a police officer, and his partner, who are trying to pick up a criminal on a warrant from the next town. He gets a call about seeing Brenda to take a report on her stolen car, and he heads for the hospital.
Brenda is shell-shocked but after a few minutes, she reveals to Lorenzo that Cody, her four-year-old son, was in the back seat of her car when it was stolen. Lorenzo reacts to this with an asthma attack, and one of the hospital’s doctors gives him a shot of adrenaline. It is also revealed that Brenda’s brother is a police officer in the next, predominantly white, town.
The police begin to search for Brenda’s son. Her brother over-reacts and calls every cop car to seal up the projects and look for clues. Tensions grow as the local media cover the story extensively. Lorenzo takes Brenda home, but he suspects that there’s something she’s not telling him. After dropping her off at her place, he starts to drive home and realizes he’s being followed. He pulls over and finds out it’s a volunteer group that helps look for missing kids. He declines their help and goes home.
The next day, he visits his incarcerated son, then checks up on Brenda, who has helped a sketch artist do a rendering of the man who took her car.
There’s still no sign of Cody, and tensions are going through the roof around the projects. Lorenzo again asks Brenda what really happened to Cody and she pleads with him to believe her, that Cody is her life and she would never hurt him. She goes by the day care center where she works and the children try to cheer her up. As she’s leaving, a mother tells her to stay away from her child.
The white town’s cops show up at the projects and arrest a man. They beat him, drag him back to the precinct and hold up the drawing of the wanted man, whom he resembles. They start to question him when Lorenzo and Brenda’s brother show up. Brenda’s brother goes into a rage and beats the man, and other officers have to drag them apart. Lorenzo leaves in horror and runs into his partner outside. Realizing that the case will be turned over to Federal investigators, Lorenzo asks his partner to stall them for one more day. Read more
