Produktbeschreibung

In the autumn of 1963, Danny Prescott's life follows a comfortable rhythm, filled with the ordinary joys of youth and farm life. All he wants is to go to school, play football, and have a date on Saturday nights. However, his life takes a dark turn on a fateful Sunday afternoon when he offers a ride to Bret Arrington, the town's highly admired star half-back. This simple act irrevocably alters not only Danny's life but also shakes the very foundations of the close-knit rural community of Banning, Iowa-a place where forgiveness is rare, and reputation can haunt families for generations.

A shocking and brutal crime shatters the once-peaceful atmosphere of the small town: a young girl is violently assaulted. As the news spreads rapidly, it ignites a storm of rumors and accusations that threaten to tear the community apart. In the tumultuous aftermath, the community is divided, lines drawn, and sides taken. Many residents and classmates struggle to accept that their star athlete could be involved, despite the mounting evidence against him.

Tragically, Danny, a farm boy whose family has little influence and a troubled history, becomes an easier target. Danny finds himself trapped in a suffocating web of suspicion, hostility, and resentment. Some people blame the girl rather than their beloved athlete from an old and wealthy family who has led the football team to three Regional titles.

Trusted friends he has known all his life, abandon him, swept away by the town's frantic rush to judge, condemn, and ostracize. Amidst the deafening silence of betrayal and solitude, Danny grapples with heart-wrenching decisions-one which may jeopardize not only his future but cost him his life.
