Jackson as officer Abel Turner plays as an LAPD police officer who begins to terrorize his next-door neighbors after learning that they are an interacially married couple (Patrick Wilson as Chris Mattson and Kerry Washington as Lisa Mattson).
Chris Mattsonand Lisa Mattson are a young married couple who have just moved into their California dream home. They soon become the target of their next-door neighbor, who disapproves of their interracial relationship. A stern, widowed-single father of two, LAPD officer Abel Turner is the watchdog of the neighborhood.
