The Perfect Family Shattered
What happens when the unthinkable crashes into ordinary life? Andy Barber has spent two decades as First Assistant District Attorney in affluent Newton, Massachusetts, building a reputation as a skilled prosecutor while creating the perfect suburban life with his wife Laurie and fourteen-year-old son Jacob. When Ben Rifkin, Jacob's classmate, is found stabbed to death in a nearby park, Andy naturally takes charge of the investigation. The community's carefully maintained bubble of safety ruptures, transforming coffee conversations into worried speculation about predators lurking in their midst. Standing before anxious parents at hastily organized meetings, Andy projects reassurance in his blue blazer and khakis, promising justice with the confidence of someone who's secured countless convictions. What he doesn't realize is how quickly his worlds will collide. When an anonymous email directs him to Facebook posts accusing Jacob of murder, followed by the discovery of a knife hidden in Jacob's room, Andy faces an impossible choice. In seconds, he makes a decision that transforms him from officer of the court to potential accomplice: he wraps the knife in paper towels and dumps it in a restaurant dumpster miles away. "I'd always believed in the law as an instrument of truth," Andy reflects later. "But when it came to my son, I discovered truth was suddenly negotiable." How quickly our moral certainties crumble when those we love most stand accused.
