In July 2007, a joint birthday celebration for a 6-year-old and two 18-year-old girls draws a crowd of 50 to a Toronto community backyard on a warm summer day. As night falls and the cake is cut, the atmosphere shifts quickly as tensions escalate, leading to a violent gun battle that results in the death of 11-year-old Ephraim Brown. Detectives investigate the tragedy, uncovering that Ephraim, lost in his music, likely didn't hear the warning to run.
