What could be safer than living next to a cop?

An interracial couple moves into their California dream home, only to find themselves the target of their volatile next-door neighbor – a racist LAPD officer – in this tightly wound thriller starring Samuel L. Jackson and Kerry Washington. Newlyweds Chris and Lisa seem like they have the perfect marriage and now, with their new home in the exclusive community Lakeview Terrace, the perfect life as well, but things soon turn ugly in the posh neighborhood when they begin to receive threats from their neighbor Abel, a middle-aged LAPD officer who has obvious objections to the couple’s interracial marriage. What starts as an attitude problem soon morphs into full-on harassment, and before long the couple finds that their worries go far beyond their property values – or the encroaching California wildfire burning in view of their community – as they begin to fear for their lives.
