Public defender Julia Geary longs for a breakout case. Tt arrives when members of the high school soccer team report seeing a teammate -- Iraqi refugee Sami Mohammed -- assaulting a girl in the locker room. In a town where animosity against refugees has reached a fever pitch, Julia finds an ally in high school principal Dom Parrish, who believes Sami is innocent. Then Julia receives vicious threats against her family, and a senseless act of violence leaves Sami in a coma. When new evidence points to the town's most prominent citizens, powerful forces are determined to bury the truth. -- adapted from jacket.
