As a child, Fae Kardell stands helpless while police handcuff her father and drag him away. A jury later convicts him of murder. Fae knows he's innocent. From behind prison walls, Royce Kardell finds a way to cope with his incarceration. Fifteen years later, Fae returns home to bury her mother. She hears a deathbed confession which proves her father's innocence. As the real killer lurks nearby, details of the victims' deaths surface, but is it enough to justify her dad's release from prison? If she pushes for a new trial and she succeeds, her father could be freed--or--if she fails, he could get the death penalty.
