A loving husband named Nick, a beautiful four-year-old son named Matty, a stunning Pacific Northwest home, and a charity gala happening that very weekend that's about to raise a fortune for her family's foundation. Then Nick suggests they take the sailboat out alone for a romantic night. Libby falls asleep wrapped in a blanket on deck. She wakes up to her husband screaming, blood soaking the boat, and a knife in her hand. By the time the Coast Guard finds her, Nick is gone and the entire case has only one suspect. Her. The trial is brutal. The evidence is overwhelming. Her best friend Angie takes custody of Matty and promises to raise him while Libby serves her sentence. And then, three years into her time, Libby calls Angie's house and a small voice answers the phone her son, alive and laughing, asking who's calling. In the background, a man's voice asks who he's talking to. The voice is Nick's. Libby has been sitting in a cell for three years for the murder of a man who is very much alive and who has taken her son to live a new life under a new name with her supposed best friend. What follows is a slow, ruthless transformation. Libby works. She studies. She trains her body, her mind, and her patience. Her cellmate teaches her one piece of American law that will become a weapon under double jeopardy, you cannot be tried twice for the same crime. Libby has already served time for killing Nick Parsons. Legally, she can find him, look him in the eye, and finish what the court already convicted her of. The day she walks out of prison, parole officer Travis Lehman is supposed to keep her on a short leash. He has no idea the quiet housewife he just inherited is about to outsmart him, the law, and the man who framed her all to bring her son home. ___________________________________________ Cast: Ashley Judd Tommy Lee Jones Bruce Greenwood Annabeth Gish Roma Maffia Davenia McFadden Director: Bruce Beresford ___________________________________________ #movierecap #storyrecapped #movierecaps #DoubleJeopardy1999 #AshleyJudd #TommyLeeJones #MotherRevenge #FramedWife #PrisonEscape #DoubleJeopardyLaw
