In 1953, the first case of 'mercy killing' was recorded in the Arizona Homicide Files. A former policeman is accused of killing his invalid daughter. There are extenuating circumstances, but what are the reasons for the murder, and who actually committed the crime? Against all odds, investigative reporter Gene McLain, of the Arizona Republic newspaper, puts his career on the line in pursuit of the truth, and later becomes known as "the greatest investigative reporter of our time," winning five Big Story awards and a Pulitzer prize. This high-tension thriller by Hollywood producer, director and writer Rena Winters is based on the true story of a man who proved that one person can make a difference.
