Andy Barber has been an assistant district attorney in his suburban Massachusetts county for more than twenty years.

As the crisis reveals how little a father knows about his son, Andy will face a trial of his own-- between loyalty and justice, between truth and allegation, between a past he's tried to bury and a future he cannot conceive.
