    Overview

    David Burroughs has spent five years in a Massachusetts prison for a crime he swears he didn't commit: the murder of his three-year-old son, Matthew. With no memory of that night and a history of sleepwalking, David was an easy target for the prosecution. He has given up hope until his former sister-in-law, Rachel Mills, arrives with a photograph taken at Six Flags. In the background is a boy with a birthmark identical to Matthew's.

    This single image shatters everything. David breaks out of prison and sets off on a desperate cross-country hunt, pursued by the FBI, Boston police, and the shadowy forces who framed him. The eight-episode limited series, based on Harlan Coben's 2023 novel and adapted by Robert Hull, weaves a tangled web of fertility clinic secrets, powerful family dynasties, and long-buried lies.

    Sam Worthington leads a strong ensemble cast that includes Britt Lower, Logan Browning, and Milo Ventimiglia. The series keeps viewers guessing as David races to find his son before the truth is buried forever.

    PlotSpoiler-free

    David Burroughs is serving a life sentence for the brutal murder of his three-year-old son, Matthew. The crime occurred five years ago, and David has no clear memory of that night. He has a history of sleepwalking, which made him a plausible suspect in the eyes of the jury. His ex-wife Cheryl has remarried and moved on, believing he killed their child. David has resigned himself to a life behind bars.

    Everything changes when Rachel Mills, Cheryl's sister, visits the prison. She shows David a photograph taken at an amusement park. In the background is a boy who looks exactly like Matthew, complete with a distinctive birthmark on his cheek. David is stunned. If Matthew is alive, then someone else died that night. And someone framed him.

    David orchestrates a daring prison break with the help of his childhood friend Adam Mackenzie, a Boston police officer. Now a fugitive, David must stay one step ahead of the law while digging into the past. He uncovers connections to the Fisher family, a criminal clan with a grudge against his father, and the wealthy Payne family, whose matriarch Gertrude Payne wields immense influence. The trail leads to a fertility clinic where Cheryl secretly sought a sperm donor under Rachel's name. Someone tampered with the records.

    Meanwhile, FBI agent Sarah Greer begins to question the official narrative. She teams up with Rachel, who becomes David's ally and romantic interest. Together, they follow a trail of falsified DNA evidence, corrupt officials, and a conspiracy that reaches into the highest circles of power. The series moves through multiple locations: the prison, the working-class streets of Revere Beach, and the opulent Payne estate. Each episode peels back another layer of deception.

    David must confront the possibility that the boy in the photograph might not be his son at all. He also faces the reality that the real killer is still out there, willing to do anything to protect the secret. The clock is ticking. The forces that framed David are closing in, and Matthew's life hangs in the balance.
