In the small town of Beatrice, Nebraska, six people believe they committed a murder. The memory haunts the entire town, but that memory may not be true.

In 1989, Tom Winslow implicates himself in the now-cold case; the lead investigator pieces together a chilling picture of the crime.

Decades after the trial of the Helen Wilson murder case, Joseph White's fight for DNA testing brings new details to light.

After new DNA evidence surfaces, advocates push for a full exoneration of the Beatrice Six; as Burt Searcey's investigative methods come under fire, a new story focused on the heinous actions of a killer emerges.

As the once-accused Beatrice Six prepare to re-enter the society, one of the exonerated remains convinced of their involvement in the crime despite scientific evidence to the contrary; many people in town strongly believe the six are guilty.

In the aftermath of a landmark civil judgement, the town of Beatrice grapples with the fallout of a miscarriage of justice.
