CrimeDramaMysteryThriller48 min per episode

A suburban prosecutor’s life is upended when a teenage boy is found murdered and the evidence starts pointing toward his own son, Jacob. As the investigation closes in, the case moves from the courtroom into the family home, where every answer seems to raise a worse question. Andy Barber, played by Chris Evans, is forced to defend Jacob in public while privately confronting what he knows, what he fears, and what he may have missed. His wife Laurie, played by Michelle Dockery, tries to hold the family together as suspicion spreads through their community and the pressure turns ordinary memories into possible warning signs.
