But on this night Scott has escaped and is back home telling his story. For defense attorney Robert Kavin it hits hard because his son was one of the victims. A teacher from Scott’s school is arrested and charged. But something doesn’t add up for Robert and he decides to offer to defend the suspect. He enlists Dr. Gwen Moore, an expert on killers to help with his defense and to see if this guy could be guilty or is being set up. Dr. Gwen has her own issues lately with a patient that was threatening to kill his wife and then she is dead and so is he. But there’s a lot more going on her.
