After a long period of beating and general abuse, a teenage boy takes matters into his own hands. With his mother seemingly dead on the floor and a gun in hand, the boy takes aim at the man who caused the grief, killing him. However, his mother is not dead and the capital crime of murder looks over him. While many lawyers rush to get away from the courthouse, Jake Brigance is willing to help out initially. Good idea?

Once Jake agrees to help this 16 year-old through the preliminaries, he discovers that this is more than a simple shift to juvenile court. With a cop dead, particularly one who appears to be outstanding at his job, the DA will be going for the death penalty. However, the boy’s physical and emotional maturity is nowhere near his age, though a plea for mercy does not seem to help. Jake will have to find a miracle.
