In 1969, 8-year-old Susan Nason is murdered. The case goes unsolved for nearly 20 years until Nason's friend, Eileen Franklin, suddenly remembers she had witnessed the crime and that the murderer was her own father.

Franklin family members testify about the abuse they endured as children. The defense team suggests that Eileen conspired with her sister and mother to convict George as an act of vengeance.
