Horror Vault's take

A Harvard law professor who has long since abandoned courtroom work finds himself drawn into the deeply troubling case of a young Black man sitting on death row in the Florida swamplands. What seems like a straightforward fight against injustice quickly reveals a far darker and more dangerous undercurrent lurking beneath the surface. The humid, isolated setting amplifies a creeping sense of dread as the professor digs deeper into secrets that powerful people would prefer stay buried. Just Cause is a Southern Gothic–tinged thriller where nothing — and no one — is quite what they appear.
