In a quiet Missouri town Norman, a young deputy sheriff, covers up an accidental shooting at the hands of his older brother, Ray, but neither of the young men are prepared for what's to come, including Norman to die at the hands of Frances. As the investigation wears on, family bonds are tested as we descend into the depths of morality and loyalty and are forced to bear witness to the violent separation of flesh and blood with everyone desperately trying to do the right thing, all while doing the wrong.[2]
