Synopsis

Spoiler shield

After finishing law school, Ellen Plainview is looking forward to spending some much needed time with her seventeen-year-old daughter, Julie. But when Julie is charged with the murder of a teacher she was rumored to be having an affair with, Ellen stops at nothing to clear her daughter's name, even when all the evidence seems to point to Julie’s guilt.

“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
