When your carefully constructed world begins to collapse in on you, sometimes you find your darkest secret is the key to understanding true love. gBeto Doheney Brown serves as the Attorney General of the State of Texas. She leads a life she could not conceive of as a dirt-poor Black girl who made a terrible choice that enabled her future. But when a White police officer kills a former college football star, pleading it was in the line of duty, that choice more than comes back to haunt her. Pressed into prosecuting the officer, the brother of a former lover, in a betrayal, she finds herself possibly sending the officer to his death, or at least life in prison. And if she doesn't, her own career is over. Suddenly the life she has built seems to pause, awaiting a verdict that is as much about her as the officer. gBeto unexpectedly draws upon friendships, family and the deep resources of her own character to make a choice that finally resolves the past and the relationships she thought she left behind.
