In a taut exploration of racial tensions in Los Angeles, two families—Korean-American and African-American—are forced to confront the repercussions of a decades-old crime amidst the unrest following the police shooting of a Black teenager. The city is on edge, echoing the turmoil of the early 1990s. Grace Park, sheltered by her Korean-immigrant parents and working at the family pharmacy, struggles with her sister Miriam's long-standing silence towards their mother. As family rifts deepen, Grace yearns for reconciliation but feels excluded from the truth behind the discord. Meanwhile, Shawn Matthews grapples with his own family's trauma; the murder of his sister Ava in 1991 resurfaces painful memories, and the recent shooting exacerbates his grief. With his cousin Ray recently released from prison, Shawn faces the challenge of reintegrating him into their fractured family. As tensions escalate, a shocking new crime brings the Parks and Matthewses together in unexpected ways. The culmination of loss, violence, and injustice forces both families to confront their shared history, leading to a reckoning that could either heal old wounds or ignite further conflict.
