No winners here. A crystal meth addicted mom seeks justice for the murder of her daughter by gang violence and while she doesn't trust the police, she takes matters into her own hands.
A grief stricken mother wanting justice for the murder of her daughter might seem like an ambitious, brave quest, yet somehow, since the mother was a meth dealer, and might have had her part in other peoples drug related deaths, I find it hard to find sympathy as much as I would have had she been an upstanding member of society. Add to the story her eldest son was in a way involved in the events that lead to her daughters horrible death, and the multiple young Mexican men or from Mexican heritage poor lives that almost push them into gang life, there are no winners here.
Her niece makes up two fake My Space accounts which ultimately lead to the murderer, with the help of the investigating officers, in the time of which the mother goes rogue in a way, again, in her grief.
In the end the mother tells she has kicked her meth addiction the day after her daughter got killed saying "doing what she couldn't do during her daughters life, she will do in her daughters death".
A sad, hopeless story even though the perpetrator is behind bars for life, and an accomplish serving 22 years in jail, it paints a very dark picture of life for people in Riverside, Los Angeles.
