Synopsis:

After being fired from his last two jobs, Ryan Clark lands an associate position with a law firm run by his distant cousin, Tom, in a small North Carolina town. Over twenty-five years earlier, Tom represented local man Joe Moore when he was convicted of murder in the deaths of a prominent young couple. Even though the evidence was circumstantial, Joe was high on drugs and doesn’t remember the details of the crime. He never seriously questioned his own guilt, even when he was originally accused. Not only has he adapted to life in prison but he’s become a different person there and has a significant ministry to fellow inmates.

But Joe’s family remains unconvinced of his guilt, and they hire Ryan and Tom to file a motion to obtain Joe’s release. The resulting investigation uncovers layers of dark secrets in the local community. It will result either in Joe’s vindication–or expand the number of people who should join him behind bars.
