Plot
Young Henry Morton disappears during a birthday party and all eyes lead to Billy Turner, a known pedophile. But the case takes a twist when Henry is found murdered and his 13-year-old neighbor, Jake O'Hara is responsible. Jake claims that he was abused after being sent to a camp for kids with behavioral problems. When it is discovered that Jake's allegations of abuse were fake, Henry's father, Dr. Morton is shocked. After discovering that Jake would get out of jail at 18 and would possibly kill again, he loses it and murders Jake in the courthouse. Dr. Morton is charged with Jake's death. During court, Novak wonders if Dr. Morton acted like a grief-stricken father when he killed Jake or he did it because of his belief that sociopathic children like Jake should be severely punished.
