A frantic mother and a desperate criminal cross paths with devastating results in first-time writer and director Charles Oliver's emotionally charged drama.
Oliver cuts back and forth between two days, the one when over-stressed mother Ana Nichols (Minnie Driver) and desperate no-hoper Saul Gregor (Jeremy Renner) met, and the one years later when their tortured relationship comes to a close. For Ana, the first day begins with a conference at her son Jesse's (Bobby Coleman) school. Bright but unfocussed, Jesse is going to be transferred to special education classes, and Ana is willing to do whatever it takes to keep him from being educationally marginalized....
