Canadian-Armenian filmmaker *Atom Egoyan* is known for his powerful, haunting dramas. Loss and sadness are the main themes of his work, including his latest film. Based on a true story, the plot revolves around the horrible murders of three children, the so-called Memphis murders of 1993. The three victims, 8-year-old boy scouts, are found naked and hacked to pieces in a West Memphis ditch. Rumors soon surface that the children were killed as part of a satanic ritual. Three teens are eventually suspected of the crime. Private detective Ron Lax (*Colin Firth*), working for the accused for free, looks for evidence to exonerate them. Pam Hobbs (*Reese Witherspoon*), the mother of one of the victims, believes the three are guilty – until doubts begin to surface.
