Dr. Rosie Klein is appointed to her next case evaluating Noah Campbell, a young teen with special needs, charged with murder. Deaf since birth, Noah’s life takes a twist when he gets into trouble defending a younger student being bullied. The consequences of that simple act lead him to a life-altering fork in the road. But it’s the decisions he makes after he is transferred out of St. Rita’s School for the Deaf that lead him down a darker path.
Rosie relates the case among flashbacks, journaling, and special reports after interviewing Noah’s family and friends along the way. Meanwhile, nefarious occurrences involve Rosie while adding to mysteries around Noah’s case.
