In nineteen minutes, you can mow the front lawn, color
your hair, watch a third of a hockey game. In nineteen
minutes, you can bake scones or get a tooth filled by a
dentist; you can fold laundry for a family of five.... In
nineteen minutes, you can stop the world, or you can just
jump off it. In nineteen minutes, you can get revenge.
Sterling is a small, ordinary New Hampshire town where
nothing ever happens -- until the day its complacency is
shattered by a shocking act of violence. In the aftermath,
the town's residents must not only seek justice in order to
begin healing but also come to terms with the role they
played in the tragedy. For them, the lines between truth
and fiction, right and wrong, insider and outsider have
been obscured forever. Josie Cormier, the teenage daughter
of the judge sitting on the case, could be the state's best
witness, but she can't remember what happened in front of
her own eyes. And as the trial progresses, fault lines
between the high school and the adult community begin to
show, destroying the closest of friendships and families.
