Synopsis:
At the age of seventeen, Chad Greer was convicted of murdering his girlfriend Megan. He insisted he didn’t do it, and fifteen years later, when he appears for a parole hearing, he continues to assert his innocence, so the Board refuses to grant him parole. His sister Sawyer, now a fledgling A.D.A., is determined to prove his innocence. She begins to work with journalist, Mason Walcott, who mysteriously appears and offers his assistance to help vindicate her brother. She is then targeted by unknown assailants who will stop at nothing to prevent her from uncovering the truth.
As Sawyer delves deeper into the case, she discovers unsettling facts that suggest a cover-up and corruption at the highest levels of local government, which leads her down a dangerous road that puts her and those closest to her in harm’s way.
Undaunted by threats to her life, she continues to pursue the case and won’t stop until she sets her brother free. That is, unless her assailants get to her first...
