A tale of murder, race and corruption of power in America's rural south - as richly told and gripping as your favourite true-crime podcast

In 1999, in rural Alabama, teenagers Tracie Hawlett and J.B. Beasley were found shot in the trunk of their car. The night of their murder remains shrouded in mystery. Why were their jeans muddy, soaked to the bone? And what drove someone to kill them?

Twenty years passed, but locals could not forget the girls' deaths. Suspicions of a police cover-up reached a fever pitch until, out of the blue, a softspoken Black man, Coley McCraney - a trucker and ordained deacon - was arrested. The trial and controversial conviction that followed would tear this small farming community in two.
