Plot:
Newlywed interracial couple Chris and Lisa Mattson, ecstatically move into their first home in Los Angeles' Lakeview Terrace: a cul-de-sac of beautiful residences. Of course, the newcomers can't wait to start fresh; however, a brief first encounter with their next-door neighbor--intimidating, embittered, racist LAPD police officer and embittered racist Abel Turner--suggests that this will be a difficult, if not impossible, coexistence. More and more, Abel takes great pleasure in pushing the unsuspecting couple's buttons, and his artfully unfriendly remarks rapidly lead to an ugly all-out confrontation triggered by a regrettable incident in the backyard pool. In Abel's eyes, Lisa and Chris don't belong to Lakeview Terrace. Will Abel have his way?
