When Elizabeth Parsons (Ashley Judd) wakes up on a boat
alone covered in blood, her initial reaction is to find her husband, but as she
follows a trail of blood out on to the deck she fears the worst has happened as
she finds a knife, but no sign of her husband Nick.
As the police take on the case and discover the couple
recently took out life insurance policies, they suspect Elizabeth had something
to do with Nick’s disappearance and consequently charge her with murder and despite
her pleas of innocence, Elizabeth is sent to jail and faces the prospect of
losing her son Matty.
To prevent Matty losing 2 parents, Elizabeth asks his nanny
Angela to adopt him so she can still maintain contact with him, but after a
couple of visits Angela and Matty stop visiting and appear to have also
disappeared.
As Elizabeth tries to track down Angela, she discovers she
has moved states and when she finally manages to get her phone number, she
overhears Matty talking to Nick – the man Elizabeth has been charged with
murdering!
With the help of her fellow cell mates, Elizabeth realises
she was framed and finds out about Double Jeopardy – the piece of law which
doesn’t allow someone to be charged with the same crime twice – so after being
released on parole, she is determined to get her revenge and risks everything
to get her son back.
Co-starring Tommy Lee Jones, this thriller was very
predictable, but it didn’t stop me enjoying it.
Not edge of your seat drama, but definitely one to worth.
