After her daughter's murder, Mildred Hayes, a grieving mother, challenges the local police force by erecting three billboards with accusatory messages. Her bold act ignites a fierce public debate and puts her on a collision course with the town's chief of police and his volatile officers. As tensions rise, the situation spirals into a complex and darkly comedic exploration of grief, justice, and the flaws within a small community.
