Mystic River

... Show More
Cuando eran niños, Sean Devine, Jimmy Marcus y Dave Boyle eran amigos, amigos de correrías. Hasta que un día ocurrió algo terrible, Dave fue secuestrado mientras jugaban en la calle. Desde ese día sus vidas cambiarían para siempre. Veinticinco años más tarde, Sean trabaja en el Departamento de Homicidios; Jimmy —ex convicto— tiene una tienda en el barrio; y Dave intenta salvar su matrimonio y mantener sus demonios a raya, demonios que le incitan a hacer cosas terribles. Cuando la hija de Jimmy Marcus muere asesinada, Sean Devine se hace cargo del caso y esta muerte lo obliga a volver a un mundo que pensaba haber dejado atrás, a enfrentarse no sólo con la violencia del presente, sino también con las pesadillas de su pasado.
