The Conviction by Robert Dugoni

3.0

Jake Carter is out of control. He witnessed his mother's murder and he has not recovered. He drinks too much and causes damage to property and himself. In an attempt to get to know him better, his father takes him on a camping trip along with Tom Molia and his son. And in the twinkling of an eye, Jake's life becomes a nightmare. Caught and convicted of robbing and vandalizing a general store, both boys end up in a wilderness camp with physically and mentally abusive guards. Sloane and Molia have to unravel the reasons behind the judge's actions and figure out how to rescue their sons.
