"A parent's denial tested by unbearable doubt"
An assistant district attorney's world collapses when his teenage son becomes the prime suspect in a classmate's murder.

It's moody, deliberately paced, and carried by strong lead performances rather than twists. Expect tense dinner-table silences over shootouts.
