In the peaceful village of Essex Junction, Vermont, Michael Durenleau's life would be cut short by a knife through the heart in the darkness behind Veronica's Tavern after celebratory drinks with his wife Rebecca.

The trial would span two decades and end with an outcome that still haunts Michael's family.
