The description further states:
''When Jacob returns from military school after being expelled, Marianne’s best friend Tara is attacked by Jacob and hospitalized. Yet even with these terrible things all pointing to her only living son, Marianne cannot abandon him. She is in a desperate fight for the survival of her only son and must fight for his life to prove his innocence.''
