As Rachael works on the case on her own, she begins to suspect that Josh knows who the real killer is, but she’s unable to get him to cooperate with his defense. When Rachael asks her husband, Trace, and his fellow artist friends to sketch the scene of the crime as they see it, a new piece of the puzzle becomes apparent…a piece that ultimately leads to a much bigger truth. "A powerful story of family and faith, wrapped in a mystery that touches the deep corners of the heart.
