Based on the best-selling novel by Jodi Picoult, a former teacher and girls' soccer coach Jack St. Bride (James Van Der Beek, Dawson’s Creek) moves to Salem Falls after a student's crush led to false accusations and a wrongful conviction for sexual assault. After this devastatingly public ordeal, Jack finds a job at a diner and settles into a new routine, slowly developing a relationship with a co-worker, Addie Peabody. But just as Jack thinks he's gained distance from his past, a trio of teenage girls with dark secrets, lead by manipulative Gillian Duncan, maliciously target Jack with accusations of assaulting her in the woods. Now at the center of a modern day witch-hunt, Jack must once again proclaim his innocence to a town searching for answers…and the woman who has come to love him.
