While picking up his son and daughter for a weekend visit, Jack (Christopher Meloni) tells his estranged wife Adrienne (Diane Lane) that he still "loves her" and wants to move back home. (It is made clear that Jack left his family for another woman.) Adrienne suggests that his remorse is due to his falling out with the other woman, but in any event says she needs time and space to think.

Dans le Sud américain des années 40, un afro-américain est accusé, à tort, du meurtre d'un gérant de magasin. Au cours de sa défense, son avocat Blanc le compare à un cochon, pour expliquer qu'il n'était pas en pleine possession de ses moyens. Condamné à mort malgré tout, sa mère et sa tante demandent au professeur de l'école locale (joué par Don Cheadle) de rendre visite quotidiennement à leur protégé afin de lui rappeler qu'il n'est pas qu'un animal dénué de raison, mais qu'il est avant tout un humain digne.
