Two high school teachers—Amber Dorris and Leticia Laye—become obsessed with a true-crime podcast about the 1999 murder of 12-year-old Sarah Gerlach.

Amber’s marriage to her real estate agent husband Gary is on the rocks. As a distraction, she and Letitia become increasingly absorbed by the case against local Blake Wernerhet. Blake was convicted of murdering Sarah, who was the little sister of a friend of his. While he maintains his innocence, everything points to this man being a vicious killer of an innocent girl.

As Amber’s personal life crumbles, she begins communicating with Blake in prison, drawn in by a connection she can't quite explain. Convinced of his innocence, Amber and Leticia hatch an elaborate plan to help Blake escape during his final appeal hearing.
But is Blake a good man wrongly accused, or has Amber placed all her faith in a charismatic monster?

Entertaining from beginning to end!

Entertaining, engaging, and easy to relate and connect with characters. Great voices and interesting story! Didn’t want to put it down.

I really liked this! Great acting too!

Kept my attention all the way when I’ve been having trouble focusing. I loved the acting and production!

Short and fun

I wanted something short and this fit the bill. Uzo was hysterical. I kind of figured out the plot but it was still a fun listen

Quick listen

This was a fun quick listen!!It was short and I wish it was longer because I enjoyed it so much.

Kept me listening

I enjoyed this. It was entertaining and kept me coming back to find out what happened. It was a twist. This was my first experience with this style of story, with multiple characters and sound effects. Made it feel more engaging. A great escape and entertainment without having to sit in front of a screen.
