Durante toda su carrera como ayudante del fiscal, Andy ha tenido claro cómo actuar ante el crimen... hasta que su propio hijo Jacob se convierte en sospechoso de la muerte de otro chaval en el instituto. Desde el principio, Andy arrincona en su mente la sola posibilidad de que sea culpable y se prepara para defenderlo, pero su mundo se derrumba durante el proceso. Se da cuenta de que sabe muy poco sobre la vida de su hijo, mientras sus propios fantasmas familiares salen a la luz y la relación con su mujer Laurie se tensa hasta el límite. Cada nueva revelación en el caso forma una duda que se abre paso a cuchillo en el corazón de Andy. Mientras tanto, Jacob mantiene la actitud cerrada y extraña propia de un adolescente asustado... ¿o es algo más?
