Plot: On the last day of his suspension--as Massachusetts prepares for the demanding annual Boston Marathon--reluctantly, the injured Boston police sergeant, Tommy Saunders, arrives at the bustling with people finish line, on April 15, 2013. Amid enthusiastic but unsuspecting spectators, the terrorist Tsarnaev brothers plant two lethal home-made pressure-cooker bombs, and at the height of the event, they remotely set them off, killing three people, and maiming 264 civilians. Now--during the following four days, and with the city plunged into chaos--a relentless area-wide manhunt begins, as the authorities, the F.B.I., and Tommy's comrades-in-arms comb the town to track down the murderers. Will the Bostonians let hate stain Patriots' Day?
