This gripping thriller, reminiscent of true crime, kept me guessing until the very end. Reese Witherspoon stars as three friends who embark on a holiday, but only two return. Ten years ago, they were cleared of any involvement in their friend Evangeline's death, despite being found innocent. The case made them infamous, and they haven't seen each other since. However, when Joni, one of the friends, shows up at Bess's doorstep in need of an alibi, Bess is compelled to agree. After all, she still owes her a favor. But can Bess truly leave the past behind, when the whole world believes she's guilty?
