A multi-narrative drama that uses interconnected Los Angeles lives to explore racism, prejudice, and the collision of social tensions in post-9/11 America.

In post-Sept. 11 Los Angeles, tensions erupt when the lives of a Brentwood housewife, her district attorney husband, a Persian shopkeeper, two cops, a pair of carjackers and a Korean couple converge during a 36-hour period.
