The Unforgivable

THE UNFORGIVABLE centers on Ruth Slater (Sandra Bullock), a woman who has just been released from prison after serving a 20-year sentence for murdering her small town's sheriff while trying to protect her 5-year-old sister, Katie. After getting out, Ruth is on probation and living in a fringe neighborhood of Seattle working at a fish processing facility. But all she really wants to do is find Katie -- now a 25-year-old classical musician who was adopted by a couple who've never told her about her sister. Ruth revisits her childhood farmhouse (where the crime took place) in the Seattle suburbs and finds that a middle-aged couple (Vincent D'Onofrio and Viola Davis) with teen sons now lives there. It turns out that the husband, John, is a corporate attorney who eventually offers to help Ruth track down her sister pro bono. Meanwhile, the dead sheriff's adult sons (Tom Guiry and Will Pullen) pursue vigilante justice to avenge their father.
