Death Row duty comes with three simple rules: Do not make it personal Do not question the system Do not take justice into your own hands Garrett Nelson will break every one of them.
Injured during a drug bust, sheriff's deputy Garrett Nelson finds himself working at a Florida Penitentiary, under the shadow of an old bell tower turned execution chamber.
There, his belief in the justice system will be tested to its limit - as a manhunt through the Everglades sparks a conflict of duty versus conscience.
Can he turn a blind eye to an innocent man's execution or risk his own life in the pursuit of truth? For life on death row takes its toll: until you can't take it anymore...
