A SMALL TOWN. A BIG MURDER.

A man is dead - and nobody knows why.

One morning in 1946, Pete Banning - war hero, pillar of the community and faithful member of Clanton's Methodist Church - drives into town, walks into the church and calmly shoots Reverend Dexter Bell in cold blood.

In the years following the murder, Banning's only statement is: 'I have nothing to say.' The sheriff, his defence attorney, the judge, and his family and friends are all left in the dark.

What drove this man to murder has haunted Clanton for decades - and now, a reckoning is coming...
