| A chance phone call throws the biggest murder case in southern England into the hands of provincial attorney Leo Curtice. Twelve-year-old Daniel Blake stands accused of murdering an 11-year-old girl. But who is truly responsible when one child kills another? |
Annotation:
Leo Curtice is a low-profile lawyer in a sleepy English country town. All of that changes, however, when a young boy named Daniel Blake murders another child. As the defense attorney, Leo faces extreme doubts and conflicting feelings about the case. The repercussions for his family, however, are beyond his worst nightmares. As the townspeople grow more and more furious about the young girl's death, Leo's own daughter faces grave danger.
