In 1998, 20-year-old Mason Jenkins was charged with the murder of his own sister. His parents, who stood by him as he claimed innocence during and after the trial, could have disowned him when he finally confessed to the shooting. But they chose instead to hold on to what remained of their family. This riveting film tells the Jenkins' story and shows how the trauma and horror of their loss has played out in a most unexpected way. Interviews with Mason and legal authorities shed light on the strange manner in which he tried to rationalize the killing and conceal his guilt, while conversations with Brian and Leslie Jenkins explore the reasoning behind their conciliatory parenting. Produced in Canada.
