Blue Caprice

Lee (Tequan Richmond) embarks on a solitary journey to the United States from Antigua, leaving his mother behind due to her occupational constraints. As he navigates the unfamiliar terrain as a young teenager, Lee crosses paths with John (Isaiah Washington), a complex individual who is sharing his life with his three children: a daughter and two sons. Over time, John and Lee form an unlikely bond, and they subsequently relocate to Tacoma, Washington, accompanied by John's girlfriend, Angela (Cassandra Freeman). As their relationship deepens, John begins presenting Lee as his biological son.

One day, while out for a jog with Lee, John reunites with his old friend Ray (Tim Blake Nelson), who introduces Lee to the world of firearms. It becomes apparent that Lee has a natural affinity for marksmanship. However, John's attempts to reconnect with his children in Maryland are thwarted by a restraining order, leaving him feeling frustrated and defeated. This sense of powerlessness culminates in an argument between John and Angela over a trivial matter, resulting in the pair being asked to leave her home. They subsequently move in with Ray, his wife (Joey Lauren Adams), and their young son.

As they settle into their new surroundings, Lee begins to uncover a cache of firearms in Ray's basement. Unbeknownst to him, John is secretly manipulating Lee, using his influence to shape the teenager's worldview and encourage a path of violence. The first victim of this toxic mentorship is a neighbor (Maya Woods), who meets a tragic end at the hands of Lee's gun. John uses this act of violence as a means to justify his own actions, convincing Lee that committing more murders is necessary to repay the debt he owes John for bringing him to the United States. The duo's next target is a pub owner (Bruce Kirkpatrick), who is shot in the back and robbed.

With their newfound wealth, John and Lee acquire a dark blue Chevrolet Caprice Classic, which John modifies to create a makeshift gun port in the trunk. This vehicle becomes an integral part of their crime spree, as they use it to commit random shootings in public spaces throughout Washington, D.C., leaving a trail of fear, panic, and destruction in their wake. The Montgomery County Police Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation join forces to investigate the attacks, which ultimately claim 17 lives and leave 10 others injured.

As their reign of terror continues unabated, John and Lee find themselves pushed to the limits of their sanity and morality. However, their luck eventually runs out when they are surrounded by law enforcement while parked in a no-parking zone, bringing an end to their ten-month-long crime spree.

As the bleak reality of imprisonment settles in around him, Lee's days are marked by the cold, unforgiving walls of his cellblock. It's been a span of five long months since the series of gruesome events unfolded, leaving a trail of terror in their wake. Amidst this darkness, a glimmer of hope arrives in the form of a lawyer (Linda Powell), her presence a stark contrast to the desolate atmosphere surrounding Lee. Her attempts to unravel the enigma behind his actions are met with stubborn resistance from Lee himself, who remains resolute in his pursuit of answers about his father's whereabouts. The questions hang in the air like an unspoken challenge as police officers move in, their stern faces a reminder that Lee is a prisoner, not just physically but also emotionally. As they escort him back to his cell, the weight of his uncertainty lingers, leaving only one pressing concern: "Where is my father?"
