An unexpected bond forms between two women when their young sons are killed in an explosion at a local shopping mall. But when the police find evidence of a bomb, one of the sons, a Muslim American, becomes the prime suspect. Bigoted opinions from the media and police easily sway public anger towards the Muslim community, shattering the women's friendship. However, the tables are soon turned when the FBI find explosive devices in one of the dead boy's locker at school...
Torn is a succinct and emotionally powerful dramatic story, ripped from today's headlines, about the aftermath of a terrorist attack...a portrait of grief and devastation that forces us to confront our own perceptions of the world and one another.
