A tense, intellectually demanding true-crime procedural that positions the viewer as investigator within a 30-year case of maternal murder, structured around raw interrogation footage that resists easy answers.

Based on a true story that spanned more than 30 years in which a young man was charged and convicted of brutally murdering his mother. Each episode is structured around an interrogation taken directly from the real police case files, with the goal of turning the viewer into a detective.
