Joe, and the impact of the death destroyed Joe and his family.
Little was arrested, convicted and sent to prison. In this fictional
exploration of the lives of real men, Alistair and Joe are given the
opportunity to reconcile 30 years after the terrible event.
Can a killer and his traumatized victim make peace?
