Synopsis: Late one evening, Brenda Martin, a thirty-seven year old Caucasian woman from the proverbial wrong side of the tracks, enters Dempsy Medical Center in Dempsy, New Jersey with minor injuries, but she is also emotionally distraught. One of the people to who she tells her story is Dempsy Police Detective Lorenzo Council, a black man. That story is that she was just carjacked by another unknown black man when she took a shortcut that she had never traveled between the Armstrong housing projects, where she works at the Rainbow Club, a children's center, and her home in Gannon, New Jersey. Her emotional distress is because her four year old son, Cody, was asleep in the back seat of the car and is thus now in the hands of the carjacker. Brenda's brother, Danny Martin, a police detective in Gannon, cannot help but get directly involved in the investigation despite he operating outside his jurisdiction. His actions do not sit well with Council, who he insinuates is not only not doing his job, b

situation, we'd be over there in a shot.

For an Armstrong kid?

I f***ing doubt it.

Don't kill me!

- Oh, God!

- Don't do it, Calvin!

- Don't do it.

- Do it.

Coming through.

- Make way, people.

- Calvin! No, Calvin. No!

Yo, C! Come on, man!

No!

- They threw him out the window.

- They pushed him out the window.

- All right, stand back.

- Back up, y'all. Back up.

- Calvin Joy. Possession with intent.

- What did you do, huh?

- What did you do?

- We never got in the door.

Three knocks, this nitwit pulls

a Monte Cristo. F*** you.

F*** me? You son of a b*tch!

I'll show you "f*** you"!

Son of a b*tch! I'll kill you.

F*** you! F*** you!

- I'm taking you off this one.

- Don't.

- I'm taking you off!

- Don't, lieutenant, don't.

- Armstrong is mine.

- No, she's yours!

What's wrong with you,

bringing her back here?

Get her looking at mug shots yet?

- No.

- You sit her with a sketch artist?

She's yours!

- I love him so much.

- Come on, come on.

Come on, Big Daddy, chill out.

Come on.

- I love him so much.

- I know you do, Brenda. I know you do.

I wish... I wish...

I still wanna work here. I wanna...

I wanna work harder.

I have so much love in me.

I know you do, Brenda.

I know you do.

- What do I do? What do I do?

- Thanks, ladies. Let's go, Brenda.

All right. Everybody

make room, please.

- What's wrong with you?

- You are two heartbeats from a lockup.

You're gonna lock me up now?

Take me now, and lock me up.

Lock me up.

That's what you should do...

...you old hillbilly-ass cracker!

Can't you do something about this?

You can't lock people up

in their own neighborhood!

- Step behind the barricade.

- F*** them!

- Take these barricades out!

- I'm not talking till you step back.

You're not talking to me?

Fine, I'll talk.

- Do you see him?

- Hey, look...

Just go and get him, take him upstairs

before he gets in trouble, all right?

- You know where she lives?

- Yeah, why?

Meet me over there, huh?

You step off!

No, this is my neighborhood!

These are my projects.

I'm not going nowhere.

No, I'm not going nowhere.

- Billy, come on!

- No!

- You think you is, man?

- Come on.

Go home!

Attention, Armstrong residents,

this is a lockdown.

Please remain behind the barriers...

...while police conduct

their investigation.

Detective, is that Cody's mom?

- Do you think it was deliberate?

- Get the hell out of here.

Come on, Detective Council.

Look over here.

This is a lockdown.

Please remain behind the barriers.

- I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do.

- We gotta go.

- No, please.

- All right, all right.

You know, I was thinking.

Once I said,

"Cody, do you love me?"
