After a young woman is found raped and bludgeoned to death, her father cannot accept the loss, especially because the killer was never identified. Consumed by grief, he spends half his life relentlessly searching for answers. More than two decades later, DNA analysis emerges as a forensic tool, reopening the case and offering new hope for justice.
