Shadow of a False Crime

In "Shadow of a False Crime" - Season 1, the accusation of sexual misconduct by a student changes Derek Malone's life forever. Once a loved high school teacher in the tight-knit town of Franklin Springs, Derek finds vicious rumors hurled at him, public scorn, and sensationalized media attention that ruins his reputation in an instant. As the community quickly starts to turn against him, Derek has to find a way to prove his innocence while watching his career, relationships, and sanity dissolve. Ensnared in the labyrinth of suspicion and doubt, Derek contemplates an upward fight through the courts, with the truth seemingly second to prevailing public opinion. It is in this situation that Derek receives the embattled support of a very determined attorney, Sarah Cooper, in a search for the motives behind such accusations. But with powerful opposition lying ahead, he is bound to find unpalatable truths: those of trust, loyalty, and the fragile nature of his standing in society. Shadow of a False Crime depicts how false accusations and gray, even vague lines separate innocence from guilt, aside from actions meant to protect a name. During his fight for innocence, Derek must face the justice system, which distributes blame so easily, and a society quick to judge. This powerful story of betrayal, justice, and survival brings into sharp perspective some of the most depressing forms of fear and the radical steps one may take in desperation when one's very existence is at stake.
