Description
Finding the strength to pack up her three kids and leave an abusive husband, Marie works her way through college and lands a job with the State of Tennessee. Hard work moves her up to the appointment as the first woman to head the State Board of Pardons and Paroles, but she soon learns that justice and politics don't always mix. When she uncovers a cover-up operation that allows for the Tennessee elite to get a kickback in exchange for letting killers and rapists go free, she withstands lies, threats and murder to blow the whistle on the corruption.
