About
Wes Carver returns to his hometown-Black River, Montana-with two things: his wife's ashes and a letter from the parole board. The convict who once held him hostage during a prison riot is up for release.
For years, Wes earned his living as a correction officer and found his joy playing the fiddle. But the uprising shook Wes's faith and robbed him of his music; now he must decide if his attacker should walk free.
