In Eastwood’s strikingly photographed, beautifully crafted, and affectingly acted true life mystery-cum-police corruption exposé, a single mother, whose 9-year-old son went missing several months earlier, raises the ire of a horribly unscrupulous Los Angeles police force – who proceed to persecute her mercilessly – when she claims that the boy returned to her as her missing son is in fact no such person.
