Rectify - Season 3
A convict who spent 19 years on death row is released and must reindoctrinate himself into society and reacquaint himself with his family in a small Georgia town. Despite an odd, sometimes contradictory account of his role in Hanna';;;;;;;;;s death, the plea deal has gone through, making Daniel Holden, once again, a convicted murderer. As Daniel copes with probation, Janet prepares for his looming banishment, and Amantha tries to build a life around something other than her brother';;;;;;;;;s innocence. Even DA Sondra Person harbors lingering doubts about Daniel';;;;;;;;;s guilt—until George Melton';;;;;;;;;s corpse turns up, raising new and troubling questions about the night Hanna died.
