In the summer of 2020, small-town public defender Andy Hughes is assigned to a grotesque murder case that brings national media focus to rural Patrick County, Virginia. The accused killer is a cunning felon who has confessed to the police. But a simple typographical error and a shocking discovery begin to complicate the state's case. Duty-bound to give his client a thorough defense, Andy - despite his misgivings - agrees to fight for a not-guilty verdict, a decision that will ultimately force him to make profound, life-and-death choices, both inside and outside the courtroom.
