Kelly Lund walks free after three decades behind bars for murdering Hollywood director John McFadden in June 1980. She was seventeen when the killing happened. Now speculation follows her everywhere about what really took place that night. Kelly tries to rebuild her life, but the past catches up when her father-in-law turns up dead. Someone shot him through the head at close range. The victim was McFadden's close friend, and all eyes turn to Kelly as the obvious suspect. This time she has powerful allies who believe she committed neither crime. They stand by her innocence despite the mounting evidence. Kelly must prove she didn't kill again while the truth about both deaths remains buried. The question haunts everyone around her: is Kelly Lund a victim of circumstance or a killer who escaped justice twice?
