Hank Grotowski (Thornton) is a seemingly rigid correctional officer who shares a home with his ailing racist father (Boyle) and a son, Sonny (Ledger), whom he says he hates. But his son teaches him a lesson that permanently changes life as Hank knows it. One night, Hank reluctantly comes to the aid of Leticia (Berry), a beautiful Africa-American screaming for her young son clinging to life after being hit by a car. They soon find themselves to be unexpected soul mates connected by tragic grief and shocking coincidence.
