Tensions are high as the second jury becomes hopelessly deadlocked. Meanwhile, Jed's girlfriend, a beautiful woman with a stunning secret of her own, mysteriously vanishes. Will a killer walk free?Set in fictional Murrieta County, California, north of Sacramento, what begins as a legal drama spirals into psychological suspense, as Jed uncovers the true identity of the woman he loves and the nightmarish truth about delayed justice, retribution, and the price of idealism in a broken system.
