About City by the Sea 💬

Based on an Esquire magazine article by Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist Michael McAlary.

When a respected New York homicide detective Vincent LaMarca (Robert De Niro) - whose own father was executed for murder - discovers the prime suspect in a murder case is his estranged son Joey (James Franco), he is forced to return home to the decaying boardwalks of Long Beach, Long Island, to confront the darkness of his past. During the course of the investigation, he realizes that his failures as a father - and his unresolved anguish about the painful estrangement - have deeply influenced his son's life, and he must put his own life on the line in order to do right by both his family and his profession.
