FBI agent Ray Kasten (Chiwetel Ejiofor of "American Gangster") has been reassigned to Los Angeles. He has been dispatched to assist a special anti-terrorist task force in the aftermath of New York City's 9/11 catastrophe. Ray has grown chummy with two investigators, Jess Cobb (Julia Roberts) and Bumpy Willis (Dean Norris of "Lethal Weapon 2"), but District Attorney Martin Morales (Alfred Molina of "Spider-Man 2") and gimlet-eyed Detective Reg Siefert (Michael Kelly of "Man of Steel") infuriate him. Morales has just recruited a new deputy D.A., Claire Sloan (Nicole Kidman of "Australia"), who is an statuesque blonde. Everybody, particularly Jess, soon realizes Ray is infatuated with Claire. Claire remains as cool as a glacier as she moves around Ray. Nevertheless, she is doesn't entirely ignore him. Meantime, Ray has been conducting surveillance on a mosque when a report reaches him about a Jane Doe corpse in a nearby dumpster. Everybody assembles at the mosque where the police have set-up a crime scene. Ray is the first detective to gaze into the dumpster. Horror overwhelms him when he recognizes the corpse; the dead girl, Carolyn Cobb (Zoe Graham of "Boyhood"), is none other than Jess's daughter. Distraught beyond description, Jess climbs into the dumpster and cradles her dead daughter in her arms.
