Ansel Packer, the serial killer, will be executed in twelve hours. The chaplain advised him to accept what could not be changed. But the countdown is the most difficult part of the punishment, even a well-deserved one. What was Ansel's life like? Does he have anyone to feel sorry for?
The man's story will be told by three women. Lavender, who didn't know motherhood could be so cruel and that her son would grow up to be a monster. Detective Sheffy, who put all her strength into the fight for justice. Twin sister in mourning.
It is not about a criminal whose image society is trying to romanticize, but about a poisonous justice system, destructive kindness, and the complexity of human life. But about strong women who are capable of more.
