Juror #2

Journalist Justin Kemp, who is in recovery from alcoholism, receives a summons to serve on a jury for a high-profile case in Savannah, Georgia. The case revolves around the death of Kendall Carter, whose body was found under a bridge.

The case being tried involves the death of Kendall Carter, who was last seen arguing with her boyfriend James Sythe at a nearby bar. After the fight, Kendall was found dead, raising questions about the nature of her death and the role Sythe played in it.

Prosecutor Faith Killebrew aims to bolster her campaign for district attorney by securing a conviction in this high-profile domestic violence case. She highlights witness testimonies that paint Sythe as an intoxicated aggressor on the night of Kendall's death.

The night before Kendall's death, Justin hits something with his car while driving home, initially believing it was just a deer. This incident plants the seed of doubt in his mind about the possibility of his involvement in Kendall's tragic fate.

Fearing that an innocent man may be wrongfully convicted, Justin consults Larry, his Alcoholics Anonymous sponsor and a defense lawyer. Larry emphasizes the seriousness of the situation, warning Justin that his past DUIs could jeopardize his credibility in court.

As the trial unfolds, Justin grapples with the weight of the evidence against Sythe, fearing his own connection to Kendall's death. He resolves to advocate for Sythe's not-guilty verdict, driven by his newfound sober clarity.

Sythe's overworked public defender, Eric Resnick, fails to highlight critical details, including poor nighttime visibility that could affect eyewitness accounts. Justin becomes increasingly concerned about the direction the case is heading.

During jury deliberations, retired detective Harold raises concerns about the validity of eyewitness testimony. Justin's suggestion to consider alternate explanations for Kendall's injuries gains traction among jurors, leading to a heated discussion.

After conducting unauthorized research on body shop visits related to the case, Harold narrows down potential vehicles linked to Kendall's death, which now includes Justin's car. This revelation worries Justin about his own fate being questioned.

Killebrew struggles with her conscience upon realizing the police had coached eyewitnesses. Despite feeling conflicted about the integrity of the case, she opts to continue her pursuit of a conviction for Sythe due to her commitment to her campaign.

When Killebrew investigates vehicles involved in the case, she learns that the car registered to Justin's wife Ally is among the suspects. The couple engages in a tense conversation, revealing Justin's struggle with his past mistakes and his attempts to hide the truth.

Despite Justin's efforts to convince the jury, the verdict is ultimately a conviction for Sythe. Justin is not present when the decision is announced, but the consequences of this outcome weigh heavily on him as he navigates his own guilt.

After the sentencing, Killebrew meets with Justin, who advocates for reconsidering the case of Kendall's true killer. However, Killebrew argues that an innocent man has already been wrongfully punished, complicating the moral landscape.

To cut off his link to the crime, Justin decides to sell his car, symbolizing his attempt to move on from the past. Meanwhile, Ally safely gives birth, providing a glimmer of hope amidst the chaos of the trial.

Just as Justin and Ally enjoy their new life with their daughter, Killebrew arrives at their home. This unexpected visit raises questions about the future and the unresolved tensions surrounding Kendall's death.
