When a murder is pinned on Victor Harlow, a long-haul trucker whose life is governed by an almost pathological adherence to routine, the evidence seems insurmountable. His own meticulous digital logs place him at the scene at the exact time of the crime. Public defender Clara Vance must unravel the perfect case against him, discovering that his extreme self-discipline was not a sign of guilt, but the very instrument of a chilling frame-up. The final day of trial reveals a single, devastating logical flaw that shatters the prosecution’s narrative and redefines the meaning of a new beginning.
