Crime, Drama
In SEVEN SECONDS, rookie narcotics officer Pete Jablonski (Beau Knapp) accidentally hits black teen Brenton Butler (Daykwon Gaines) with his car, putting the boy in a coma. Pete's superior, Di'Angelo (David Lyons), comes to the scene of the crime and insists on covering it up to protect his man and to prevent the inevitable racial outcry that would come when the community discovered a white cop had injured a black teen. While Brenton's family stays at his bedside, Di'Angelo finds a derelict to pin the crime on. When KJ Harper (Clare-Hope Ashitey), an alcoholic city prosecutor discovers that the patsy couldn't have done the crime, she and detective "Fish" Rinaldi (Michael Mosley) have to untangle what really happened. As Jablonski's guilt starts eating away at him and new relationships between the Butlers and a local drug king come to light, the story expands to be about more than just the crime, but about justice, faith, and personal compromise.
