The Last Juror
In 1970s Clanton, Mississippi, college dropout Willie Traynor turns a failed small-town paper into a success covering a local rape and murder case and finds his life coming full circle when, nine years after receiving a life sentence for that crime, Danny Padgitt, son of Clanton's most brutally powerful family, is paroled and jury members start turning up dead.
