A lawyer with a past. A kid with no future. Murder brought them together. What should have been nothing more than a harmless burglary turns into a full-blown nightmare for Katherine Wright when she’s accused of a cold-blooded double murder by Pittsburgh PD. A high school dropout with a history on the streets, this isn’t the first time she’s picked up, and it’s not long before her problems begin to spiral out of control as an angry community calls for the death sentence.

Attorney Ken McClain has nothing to live for. Nine years after the accident that claimed the life of his wife and two sons, he's finally given up. Alone in his empty house, it seems suicide is his only escape. Now the question of death by pills or by bullet? Then suddenly the phone rings, and it turns out to be a case he can't refuse. A case for the life of accused killer Peter Thomason, and a case for his own soul.

The year is 1990. A shocking murder of the star quarterback upends a sleepy Georgia town. After his father Jack decides to risk everything by defending the accused, young Chance Meridian—along with his three best friends—must grow up fast when the uglier lessons of life interrupt their carefree boyhood. Jim Crow may be dead, but old attitudes die hard.

Lee Acker is horrified by the violent killing of his childhood best friend. And he is equally distraught to discover that he stands wrongly accused of the crime. As a whirlwind of media frenzy and a high-profile investigation descend on Lee's ordinarily quiet Georgia town, he boldly flees to Mexico in a hunt for answers. But Lee barely has time to catch whispers of shady international dealings before he finds himself detained and extradited back to the United States to stand trial. Now, Lee's last hope rests with the local legal community's rising star, Maggie Reynolds.
