In a gritty 1980s town, Anna labors tirelessly to afford special schooling for her deaf young daughter Lexi, only for her gambling husband Tom to clean out their savings. Her horror deepens upon uncovering a sinister plot: Tom and his mistress Karen have taken out an exorbitant insurance policy on Anna and Lexi, intending to burn down their home with them trapped inside. Narrowly escaping the blazing trap with her child, Anna refuses to cower as a defenseless victim.
Teaming up with Ella, an incorruptible female detective fighting prejudice within her precinct, Anna begins collecting physical forensic proof of Tom's premeditated arson. With Tom mobilizing corrupt local connections to silence them before the grand jury convenes, Anna must wage an all-or-nothing courtroom campaign to secure her daughter's safety and send the conspirators to prison.
