CrimeDramaRomanceThriller97 min

After police ignore her pleas to arrest the man she holds responsible for her husband’s death, Cate Blanchett’s grieving widow takes justice into her own hands and ends up under arrest for murder. In custody, she draws the attention of a young officer, with Giovanni Ribisi as the policeman whose sympathy turns into something more personal. What begins as a revenge story shifts into a romance under pressure, with police scrutiny, questions of guilt, and the sense that both of them are moving past a point of no return.
