Synopsis :In a 1999 Philadelphia violent home invasion, Clyde Shelton (Gerard Butler) is forced to witness the rape and murder of his wife and young daughter, by Clarence James Darby (Christian Stolte) and his accomplice Rupert Ames (Josh Stewart). Prosecutor Nick Rice (Jamie Foxx) is unable to use DNA evidence to securely convict both accused. Unwilling to take a chance on lowering his yet unbeaten 96% high conviction rate, he chooses to rather make a deal with Darby (the actual murderer), letting him plead guilty to a lesser charge, in return for testifying against Ames. Ames is found guilty and is sentenced to death. Shelton feels totally betrayed by Rice's actions, as he had pleaded with him not to make the deal and to at least try convict both of them, as he was releasing the worst of the two, the actual killer. Darby serves his shortened sentence and is released just a few years later.
