“Never let the truth get in the way of a
good headline.”

Although innocent of the crime, his life, loves, and dirty-laundry rapidly gain national notoriety when the case is picked up by a reality TV crime show. The twist? He proves his innocence, only to unwittingly implicate the wrong person as his wife’s murderer — which is exactly what the real killer had planned all along.
