Georgia attorney Mikala Aulani prepares for retirement when Adam Star arrives at her office with a shocking confession. He murdered his wife ten years ago. The crime sent innocent nurse Sophie Lee to prison instead. Kala had defended Sophie back then, convinced of her client's innocence, but the jury disagreed. Sophie was convicted on a Tuesday, the day when major events always seem to strike her life. Now Adam lies dying and wants to set things right. He exonerates Sophie and leaves her his fortune. Sophie walks free from prison but retreats to Kala's home to escape the media storm. Kala helps her former client navigate sudden wealth and freedom after a decade behind bars. Both women face new revelations about forgiveness and the secrets people carry. Sophie must rebuild her life while Kala confronts the case that never left her thoughts.
