The Crossing Guard - 1995

The daughter of Freddy and Mary Gale was killed by a drunk driver, John Booth. The death of their child took a heavy toll on the Gales; their marriage broke up, and, while Mary has remarried and attempted to put her life back together,

Freddy has become an embittered alcoholic, seething with directionless rage and searching for a purpose in life. Freddy intends to kill Booth as soon as he's released from prison, as he believes that jail was not a severe enough punishment for his daughter's death. But Freddy discovers that Booth is still wracked with guilt for his crime and can barely live with himself.

He tells Booth that he has three days left to live; Booth tries to find solace in the arms of artist Jojo, while Freddy continues to wallow in alcohol and self-pity at a strip club.
