Some family secrets cannot bear the daylight

A morally complex legal thriller that uses a family's discovery of a hidden autistic brother to interrogate justice, prejudice, and the possibility of innocence in a brutal crime.

Young lawyer Iris discovers that she has an older, autistic half-brother Ray, who is in prison for the atrocious murder of his neighbour and her five-year-old daughter. When she meets Ray he reminds her a lot of her own son Aron, who also is autistic, and she starts to believe that he is innocent.
