The Bell Tower

Death Row duty comes with three simple rules:

Do not make it personal

Do not question the system

Do not take justice into your own hands

Garrett Nelson will break every one of them.

Injured during a drug bust, sheriff's deputy Garrett Nelson finds himself working at a Florida Penitentiary, under the shadow of an old bell tower turned execution chamber.

There, his belief in the justice system will be tested to its limit - as a manhunt through the Everglades sparks a conflict of duty versus conscience.

Can he turn a blind eye to an innocent man's execution or risk his own life in the pursuit of truth? For life on death row takes its toll: until you can't take it anymore...
