Danny Handler is marched barefoot through a sleeping Missouri neighborhood. He’s bound, terrified, and obedient. Minutes later, he is executed in Lauren Ellis’s backyard while she watches from her kitchen window.

But as the investigation deepens, the case begins circling an older story buried beneath a sealed juvenile record and allegations no one believed.
Now someone is replaying an old nightmare in real life.
