Story
     On a wintry Pacific Northwest island community in 1950, a quiet
fisherman stands trial for murder. It looks like a straightforward case of
cold-blooded homicide. But as the trial unfolds, the simple story of the
man's death unravels into a deeply haunting mystery and an extraordinary
tale about the persistence of hate and the power of love.
