In 1975, three children, Jimmy, Sean, and Dave, are playing on the streets of Boston when a stranger approaches them. Since the stranger has a badge and is wearing a suit, the children assume that he is a police officer. The stranger orders Dave to enter his car, and Dave obeys, but this leads to him being sexually abused and locked inside a basement for four days, after which he manages to escape.
Twenty-eight years later, the boys are grown and still live in Boston, but they are no longer close friends. Jimmy (Sean Penn) is a former convict running a neighborhood store, while Dave (Tim Robbins) is a blue-collar worker. The two are still neighbors and related by marriage. Sean (Kevin Bacon) has become a detective with the Massachusetts State Police, but several months ago his wife ran away from home for another man.
Jimmy's 19 year-old daughter Kate (Emmy Rossum) is secretly dating a boy named Brendan and intends to run away with him to Las Vegas. One night Dave notices Katie dancing at a local bar, but later that night Katie is murdered, and for unknown reasons, Dave comes home with an injured hand and blood on his clothes, which his wife Celeste (Marcia Gay Harden) helps him clean. Dave claims that he fought against a mugger and killed him.
Sean discovers that the pistol used to kill Katie had been used in a liquor store robbery in the 1980s by Just Ray, the father of Katie's boyfriend Brendan. Harris, though missing, supposedly mails his family $500 every month. Meanwhile, Celeste loses her trust for Dave and tells Jimmy about Dave's bloody clothing.
