While on a vacation in the Canadian Rocky Mountains, schoolteacher Laura Letts-Beckett drowns in the ice-cold waters. The only witness to the accident is her husband-a larger-than-life former New Zealand city councilor named Peter Beckett.
A paranoid Peter faces the pre-trial hearing alone, until a seasoned defense attorney steps in. While Peter faces a new series of charges from behind bars, Laura's family remains convinced of his guilt.
An increasingly paranoid Peter continues to fight for his freedom. His defense team calls on heavy-hitting forensic experts to poke holes in the prosecution's circumstantial case.
