"The Other Side of Night" follows Mel (Walking Dead's Ann Mahoney), a lower-middle class mom from rust belt Pennsylvania whose 16-year-old is killed on his own porch on a drive-by shooting. Since the bureaucratic procedure of law enforcement does not make the best effort at finding her son’s killer, she decides to take the law into her hand and look for him, although she does not know that what she will find is not what she was expecting.
