Season 1
Episodes
Part 1
On the afternoon of October 24, 2011, 12-year-old Garrett Phillips is found mysteriously strangled in his home in Potsdam, New York. Police quickly zeroed in on a suspect in this unthinkable crime: Oral "Nick" Hillary, the ex-boyfriend of Garrett's mother Tandy, who was a soccer coach at Clarkson University and a black man in a community that was mostly white. Hoping to put the welfare for their children first, Tandy and Nick had recently separated, feeling pressure for their interracial romance in the small town, and, in the wake of Garrett's death, Tandy finds support from her ex-boyfriend, Sheriff's Deputy John Jones. Considering few other suspects, Potsdam investigators brought Nick into the station for a traumatic interrogation he would never forget.
Part 2
Six months after Garrett's murder, the community begins a "Justice for Garrett" campaign as Nick, who has lost his job, tries to move forward with his life and files a civil case against the Potsdam police department. With the new DA Mary Rain making it her mission to put Garrett's murderer behind bars, Nick is charged with second degree murder based on testimony given during his civil case that seems to contradict parking-lot video surveillance footage. Despite holes in the prosecution's case, both sides prepare for a bench trial without a jury, as national media attention raises important issues of race and bias in policing.
