Synopsis :

Murder isn't always a crime.......Libby Parsons life turns upside downwhen her husband Nick (Bruce Greenwood) goes overboard during a romantic weekend of sailing and she is arrested for his murder. In prison, Libby asks her best friend, Angie (Annabeth Gish), to adopt her 5-year-old son. Angie adopts and then vanishes with Libby's son Matty. With the help of prison friends Margaret (Roma Maffia) and
Evelyn (Davenia McFadden), Libby traces them to San Francisco where, she discovers, they are living with Nick, who staged his own "murder" and forged a new identity. Margaret, a dis-barred lawyer tells Libby: She's free to murder Nick when she gets out, since she's already been convicted of killing Nick, and she can't be tried again. Six years later, Libby is paroled. Travis Lehman (Tommy Lee Jones),
is a parole officer who won't allow any departure from the rules, and when Libby does (depart from the rules) to track down her son, Lehman pursues her.
