Description
Daniel Ford has 30 days to live. Accused of the horrific murder of his best friend Nathan 12 years before, he has exhausted all appeals and now faces the long walk to the electric chair. All he can do is make peace with his God. As Daniel recounts his life story to Father John Rousseau, a dark and troubled narrative unfolds. From his first meeting with Nathan as a young boy, through formative experiences in Vietnam and the tumultuous 1960s, Ford's tale is one of friendship, loss, and betrayal. With each passing day, Ford's memories become increasingly vivid, revealing a complex web of relationships and events that led to the tragic murder. As he rakes over the ashes of his existence, Ford's story becomes a powerful exploration of guilt, redemption, and the human condition.
