The story
In the small town of Sam Dent, British Columbia, a school bus hits a patch of ice, runs through a barrier, and crashes into a lake, killing 14 children.
The grieving parents are approached by an out-of-town lawyer, Mitchell Stephens, who is haunted by his dysfunctional relationship with his drug-addicted daughter.
The case depends on coaching the few surviving witnesses to say the right things in court, particularly Nicole Burnell, a 15-year-old paralyzed from the waist down as a result of the accident.
