Defending Jacob

Andy Barber has been an assistant district attorney for two decades and is respected in his courtroom and happy at home with his wife Laurie and their teenage son, Jacob. Their quiet suburb is shattered when a young boy is stabbed to death in a leafy park and the accused is Jacob, a shy, awkward, and mysterious teen. Andy believes in Jacob’s innocence, but damning evidence, mounting doubt, neighbors’ contempt, and a faltering marriage turn the crime into a murder trial that threatens to obliterate the Barber family. For Andy, a man with an iron will and a dark secret, the case becomes a crucible of parental knowledge and loyalty.
