 A young man is beaten to death. Now it s believed that he sought out sanctuary in the house of a man (Hughes), and that the man threw him out. And it s also believed that the boy being Hispanic was probably part of a gang and that the whole thing was gang related, so the police don t consider any need to investigate the incident. But a teacher (Kelly) doesn t believe this, and sets out to find out what happened that night by talking to the man, but he doesn t want to talk about it.
