Summary
The worst thing he ever did was tell the truth.
When a teenage boy takes a DNA test to prove his innocence for a crime that has rocked the community, the consequences are devastating. The test identifies his father as the prime suspect in a 27-year-old murder cold case. But when police arrest Joe Doak, he suffers a cardiac episode.
Joe's son Kurt is racked with guilt, and Joe's widow sues the police for excessive force. Many in the small town of Wrenfield believe he is not guilty despite the incontrovertible DNA proof.
True crime podcaster Sloane Abbott arrives in Wrenfield to investigate the case. A lucrative offer from a top US network means she needs to find her best story yet, but not everyone is happy to see her. The town closes ranks, including the local police. Ultimately, Sloane is left to explore the moral repercussions of the two crimes and whether the past and present might somehow be linked.
