When the body of nine-year old Thuy Sen is found in the San
Francisco Bay, the police quickly charge Rennell and Payton
Price with her grisly murder. A twelve-person jury, abetted
by an incompetent defense lawyer, is nearly as quick to
find the brothers guilty, and to sentence them both to die
for their crimes.
Fifteen years later, overworked pro bono laywer Teresa
Peralta Paget, her husband Chris, and stepson Carlo, a
recent Harvard law graduate, become convinced not only that
Rennell didn't receive a fair trial but that he may well be
innocent. Racing against the clock and facing enormous
legal obstacles, Teresa, Chris, and Carlo desperately try
to stay Rennell's execution, taking the case all the way to
the Supreme Court, and to an enormously moving and powerful
conclusion.
