Scholar Joe Talbert gets the modest goal of completing a composing project for an British class. His job is to interview a stranger and write a short biography of the person. With deadlines looming, Joe mind to a nearby nursing home to find a willing subject. There he fits Carl Iverson, and quickly nothing in Joe’s life is ever the same.

Aided by his skeptical neighbor, Lila, Joe throws himself into uncovering the reality. Thread by thread, he begins to unravel the tapestry of Carl’s conviction. But mainly because he and Lila dig deeper into the circumstances from the crime, the stakes grow higher. Can Joe uncover the truth before it’s as well late to flee the fallout?
