Inhaltsangabe:	Hank Grotowski ist Wärter im Staatsgefängnis von Georgia. Wie schon sein rassistischer Vater Buck zuvor und nun auch sein sensibler Sohn Sonny eskortiert er Todeskandidaten bei ihrem letzten Gang auf den elektrischen Stuhl. Als Sonny bei der Hinrichtung des Schwarzen Lawrence Musgrove die Nerven verliert und zusammenbricht, eskaliert der schwelende Familienkonflikt, der Sonny schließlich zu einer verzweifelten Tat treibt. Hank quittiert darauf hin seinen Job. Zufällig begegnet er der ebenso desillusionierten Aushilfskellnerin Leticia. Sie ist die Frau, deren Mann er kurz zuvor exekutiert hat. Es beginnt eine obsessive Liebe zwischen zwei Menschen, die eigentlich nichts gemeinsam haben, außer dass sie beide am Abgrund stehen, und deren einzige Hoffnung es ist, sich aneinander festzuhalten. ####################################################################### Oscar ® # Oscar für 2001: Halle Berry (Beste Hauptdarstellerin) # # Oscar-Nominierung für 2001: Milo Addica, Will Rokos (Bestes Drehbuch-Original) #######################################################################
