The story of the battle to free Debbie Peagler, an incarcerated survivor of brutal domestic violence.

Her story takes an unexpected turn two decades later when a pair of rookie land-use attorneys cut their teeth on her case — and attract global attention to the troubled intersection of domestic violence and criminal justice.
