Synopsis

Nineteen years ago, Daniel Holden was sentenced to death for the rape and murder of his teenage girlfriend, Hanna Dean. Thanks to newly discovered DNA evidence and the efforts of hissister Amantha and lawyer Jon Stern, Daniel’s conviction has been vacated andhe’s returned to his mother Janet’s home in Paulie, Georgia. But not everyone is convinced of his innocence -- nor is his future as a free mansecure. Season Two finds Daniel committed to living in the present and making choices that prove frustrating for some of the Holden/Talbotfamily. Unfortunately, there are many places and faces in Paulie that remind Daniel of the past – his incarceration, Hanna, and his role the night of Hanna’s murder. He’s forced to the realization that he must understand and accept what really happened if he’s ever going to know any peace, a conclusion that shapes his determination to do whatever it takes to finally put his past behind him, no matter how high the price.
