Synopsis

In the small town of Waukon, Iowa, tragedy struck one clear Tuesday night at 10pm. Daniel, an 86-year-old man, and his daughter Beth, 52, were driving drunk when they veered into the opposite lane and fatally struck 15-year-old Janie, who was skateboarding home. Shocked witnesses saw Daniel swap seats with Beth before they callously drove away, leaving behind a community reeling with grief and anger.

As the authorities were called and the news spread, Daniel eventually turned himself in, haunted by guilt and worried about his daughter's involvement. The town's outrage grew as Daniel faced the consequences in court. Despite his high blood alcohol level, the judge's lenient sentence of serving 7 days in jail each year for 10 years, along with a loss of his driver's license and probation, sparked further fury among the townspeople. They felt justice had not been served and that Daniel had gotten away with murder.

With a serious tone, this story delves into the complexities of accountability, forgiveness, and the harsh realities of a community grappling with a senseless tragedy. The characters of Daniel, Beth, Judge Anderson, Janie, and the witnesses reflect a range of emotions and reactions, painting a vivid picture of a town torn apart by one fateful night.
