　　Travis Boyette is such a man. In 1998, in the small East Texas
city of Sloan, he abducted, raped, and strangled a popular high
school cheerleader. He buried her body so that it would never be
found, then watched in amazement as police and prosecutors arrested
and convicted Donté 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; Donté 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?
