Summary

Perfect Connecticut couple Ethan and Grace Learner (Phoenix and Connelly) are driving home one September night from watching their 10-year-old son Josh (Sean Curley) play the cello at a school concert. Also in the car is Josh's younger sister, Emma (Elle Fanning). On the way, they stop at a gas station along the titular dark, winding road.

At the same time, screwed-up, divorced lawyer Dwight Arno (Ruffalo) is driving home from a game at Fenway Park with his 11-year-old son, Lucas (Eddie Alderson), a die-hard Red Sox fan. They also end up on Reservation Road. Josh has gotten out of the car and is meandering on the side of the road at the exact moment that Dwight is speeding around a corner and not paying attention. He hits the boy then, in a panic, he speeds off. It takes the whole movie for him to admit to the crime, leading to a totally implausible, violent showdown between the two suburban dads.
