Plot
A young woman and two other people are killed in a Kindle County local bar. Experienced detective sergeant Larry Starczek (Tom Selleck) begins investigation on the murders. Soon everything points to the small-time thief, a Squirrel. Larry arrests him and makes the thief confess. After a short trial, the Squirrel is sent to death row.
The story now moves seven years later, as new evidence surfaces. Nobody is confident that it was a Squirrel who actually killed the victims years ago. Furthermore, the judge from his trial may have been compromused.
