The film tells the story of Oscar Grant III, a 22-year-old from Hayward, California and his experiences on the last day of his life, before he was fatally shot by BART Police in the early morning hours of New Year's Day 2009. The story begins with Oscar and his girlfriend Sophina dropping off their daughter Tatiana at day care. Oscar stops by his old job at the deli counter of a grocery store from which he had been fired two weeks prior. He discards his stash of marijuana in an effort to get on a good path, and then attends his mother's birthday party. She encourages him to take BART to the festivities in San Francisco, which Oscar and his friends do. The train to the festivities is stalled temporarily, but Oscar and his friends turn the train into a party scene. On the return train, a customer from the grocery store recognizes Oscar and calls out his name, which leads him to be identified by a former fellow inmate, leading to a scuffle. The police pull Oscar and his friends off the train, and one of the officers shoots Oscar in the back while Oscar is being held down. Oscar's friends are released and they convene with Oscar's mother and girlfriend at the hospital, where they are told that he has died. Sophina picks up Tatiana from Sophina's sister's house where she spent the night, and the movie ends as Tatiana asks where her father is.

You always think that you have cried all of your tears. Yet you have to do it again and again and again.
