When a young boy is brutally murdered, the police department quickly assumes his baseball coach, Terry Maitland, is the one man behind this despicable act. Evidence found on the scene creates an ironclad case. Open and closed, right? Not quite. He has the perfect alibi. Detective Ralph Anderson soon discovers there is much more to this than meets the eye and tries to find out what is truly going on.
