It's her job to report every word of a trial, not prove a man's innocence. Stenographer Lauren Besoner is desperate for money, desperate enough to agree to work for her ex-husband, the newly appointed judge. As she reports the biggest murder trial Crawford, Wyoming has seen in years, Lauren's instincts tell her the wrong person is on trial. She has a choice – continue doing the job she was hired to do or make sure justice is carried out. Going against her better judgment, she begins the impossible – the search for what really happened that terrible night. And when a second murder occurs, she realizes there's more at play than what's going on in the courtroom. Lauren's quest for answers takes her down a startling and unexpected path – exposing secrets from her past, secrets she wished had stayed buried. Will Lauren's search for the truth root out the real killer? Or are her instincts wrong and the killer has been sitting a few feet away from her the whole time?
