CrimeDramaMysteryThriller108 min
Vincent LaMarca is a respected New York City detective who has spent years keeping his past at a distance. When a murder investigation points toward his estranged son (James Franco), the job collides with the family life he long ago left behind. Robert De Niro is LaMarca, a veteran cop still marked by an older crime in his own family, with Frances McDormand alongside him as the pressure of the case closes in. Moving between the city and the Long Beach shoreline, the story follows a father trying to uphold the law while confronting the damage waiting at home.
