“How you gonna make it right?”

Manuel Jordan (Billy Bob Thornton) walks out of prison after 23 years for killing a teenager during a robbery, carrying the newspaper clipping of the boy's face he stared at the whole time. Ed Solomon sends him to a city where a minister, Miles Evans (Morgan Freeman), and two women each need a hand he never expected to give. Manuel came looking for a way to make up for a death, and the film treats that as a debt no one can really pay back.
