If you enjoy atmospheric, high-quality acting, watch the Apple TV+ series . If you want a tighter, more chilling legal thriller with a shocking payoff, read the book .

The story follows Andy Barber, a respected Assistant District Attorney whose life is upended when his 14-year-old son, Jacob, is accused of murdering a classmate. Andy must navigate a "prosecutor’s dilemma," balancing his duty to the law with his unconditional love and desire to protect his son.
