A courtroom thriller centered on a mother's fierce defense of her daughter against a murder charge, balancing legal procedure with family bonds under suspicion.

After finishing law school, Ellen Plainview is looking forward to spending some much needed time with her seventeen-year-old daughter, Julie. But when Julie is charged with the murder of a teacher she was rumored to be having an affair with, Ellen stops at nothing to clear her daughter's name, even when all the evidence seems to point to Julie’s guilt.
