The story centres on the murder of a young woman in 1963 and the man who
was hanged for her murder. Over two decades later the murder impinges
upon the lives of Jim Kelly, the hanged man's son and his friend Andrew
Myers. Jim Kelly, who was convinced his father was innocent and spent
every spare moment trying to prove it, disappears in mysterious
circumstances. Some years later, Andrew's secure and predictable life
changes in ways that he could never have imagined.
