Synopsis

The execution of an axe murderer, scheduled for the imminent moment of its carrying out, is stayed. The reprieve hinges on a potential flaw in the DNA analysis presented at his trial. Suddenly, without the benefit of genetic evidence, the investigative team must frantically re-examine every piece of physical evidence from the case. Their urgent work is compounded by a call regarding a new double murder, a crime that bears a chilling resemblance to the one they are now revisiting.
