Description: **Four Brothers (2005): Plot Summary**
The story begins with the tragic murder of Evelyn Mercer, their adoptive mother, at a convenience store in Highland Park, Michigan. This event brings her four sons back to Detroit to uncover the truth. Bobby, the eldest, is a career criminal; Angel, the third oldest, is a former Marine; Jeremiah, the second oldest, is a devoted family man; and Jack, the youngest, is a rock musician. Initially believing the crime was a random robbery, the brothers interrogate a witness and soon realize it was a targeted hit on Evelyn.
Determined to avenge their mother, Bobby and Angel track down the hired assassins and execute them after failing to extract information. Their actions draw the attention of Detroit Police Lieutenant Green and Detective Fowler, who warn the brothers that their interference could lead to dangerous consequences. As the investigation deepens, Jeremiah reveals his financial struggles, explaining that his construction business failed due to avoiding dealings with gang leader Victor Sweet. He also clarifies that Evelyn’s life insurance was meant to support his daughters, as he had been covering her expenses while his brothers were absent.
The situation escalates when Sweet’s men attack the brothers at their home, resulting in Jack being fatally wounded. Bobby and Angel fight back, using a shotgun and pistols to fend off the assailants. Bobby manages to question a surviving gunman, seeking answers about who orchestrated the attack.
The brothers’ quest for justice becomes a fight for survival as they confront deeper conspiracies and personal demons tied to their mother’s murder.
