a man almost fifteen years her senior. She is an ordinary teenager from an upstanding
local family—what reason could she have to know a shady businessman, let alone to kill
him? Stella’s father, a pastor, and mother, a criminal defense attorney, find their moral
compasses tested as they defend their daughter, while struggling to understand why she is
a suspect. In this twisted narrative of love and murder, a horrific crime makes a seemingly
normal family question everything they thought they knew about their life—and each other.
