Burden of Truth

Lawyer Joanna Hanley travels back to her old home town to take on a case involving a group of teenage girls suffering from a mysterious illness.

Facing deep mistrust from the locals, Joanna is forced to deal with questions about her family's hasty departure from town.

Joanna uses her connections to convince a hydrologist to come to Millwood and test the soil for contamination.

Joanna and Billy believe the steel mill and its owner are responsible for the barrels. Meanwhile, Joanna questions everything her father told her.

Anger over the lawsuit pits the sick girls against the employees of the mill, who are concerned that their jobs could be on the line.

As threats against her and Billy escalate, Joanna brings in a respected neuropsychologist to provide what she hopes will be expert testimony.
