Jacob Hunt, a brilliant teenager with Asperger's syndrome, possesses an extraordinary talent for forensic analysis, often assisting local law enforcement with his keen observational skills. However, when a brutal murder shatters his small town, Jacob's unique behaviors are misinterpreted as signs of guilt by the police. His mother, Emma, must confront the pervasive intolerance her family faces, while his brother, Theo, grapples with the constant disruption Jacob brings to their lives. As suspicion mounts, the family is thrust into a harrowing spotlight, forcing them to confront the devastating question: is Jacob capable of murder?
