Monster's Ball is a hard-hitting Southern drama tempered by a story of powerful life-changing love. It is the story of Hank (Academy Award winner, Billy Bob Thornton), an embittered prison guard working on Death Row who begins an unlikely but emotionally charged affair with Leticia (Academy Award winner, Halle Berry), the wife of a man under his watch on The Row.

A student studying the mysterious stranglehold of urban myths decides to investigate a dreaded Louisiana plantation that was the site of grizzly murders of a couple by their son 20 years earlier. He trespasses with four others onto the abandoned backwoods property in an effort to prove his thesis that there is no truth to the myths surrounding it. Panic, violence and terror erupt as the group delves deeper into the property’s bizarre history and their own fears.
