On the eve of a seven-year prison sentence, Monty Brogan spends his last day of freedom moving through a shaken post-9/11 New York and taking stock of the choices that brought him here. Edward Norton is Monty, a convicted drug dealer trying to hold on to familiar routines with his closest friends and his girlfriend, Naturelle (Rosario Dawson), while suspicion hangs over who turned him in. Directed by Spike Lee, the film follows Monty through bars, apartments, and late-night conversations as old loyalties, private resentments, and the city around him come into sharper focus.
