J. Edgar Hoover needs a sensational crime to prop up his beleaguered FBI—and finds it in the kidnapping and murder of a five-year-old boy.
Southern Florida glades, May 1938. On the cusp of retirement, Sheriff J. D. McCall and his small staff are suddenly confronted with a shocking crime: the kidnapping of young Timmy Hunter. The desperate search for the little boy sparks a massive manhunt that includes everyone from Boy Scouts to Seminole Indians. Eventually the FBI takes over the case, under the direction of J. Edgar Hoover. A young man, a friend of the Sheriff, is arrested, tried, and convicted of the crime. He is sent to the notorious prison at Raiford, Florida, where he is condemned to die in the electric chair. But shocking new revelations throw doubt on his guilt. Will the state execute an innocent man?
