Plot

In 2002, Jonathan White is a rookie police officer under Captain Marion Mathers in the Queens, New York, neighborhood where he grew up. To provide for his wife Kerry and ailing young daughter, he works hard to keep his life on track, but his life is threatened when a dark secret surfaces. An anonymous source reveals new information about two unsolved murders from 1986 in the same neighborhood. In 1986, 14-year-old Jonathan killed two men in self-defense. His friends Vinnie and Vicky helped him dispose of the bodies and keep their involvement a secret from the authorities. The detective on the case, Stanford, knew that Jonathan was involved, but he disposed of the evidence out of loyalty to Jonathan's late father, who had been his partner. The boyfriend of Vinnie's mother forced Vinnie to have sex with him. Vinnie and Jonathan decided to rob the man and escape, but their plan failed.
