On the eve of his campaign launch for a seat in the US Senate, Peter Miles, a small town District Attorney, receives word that the governor has exonerated Ronald Bradler, a death row inmate whom Peter prosecuted five years earlier for the murder of a local police officer. In the wake of Bradler's release and through the prism of the media frenzy surrounding the high profile case, what unfolds is a public vetting of Peter's record. When hard evidence of actual impropriety on Peter's part finds it way into his possession, Bradler seeks out Peter for answers.—Anonymous
