He buried her body so that it would never be found, then watched in amazement as police and prosecutors arrested and convicted Dontà Drumm, a local football star, and marched him off to death row.

Now nine years have passed. Travis has just been paroled in Kansas for a different crime; Dontà is four days away from his execution. Travis suffers from an inoperable brain tumor.

For the first time in his miserable life, he decides to do what-s right and confess. But how can a guilty man convince lawyers, judges, and politicians that they-re about to execute an innocent man?
