Reverend Willie Maxwell, a rural preacher, was notorious. Accused of murdering five members of his family in the 1970s, he was shot dead in front of 300 mourners at a victim's funeral, and the state of Alabama is consumed. American author Harper Lee wants this true-crime tale for herself. But, as she watches the Reverend's killer stand trial, and she burrows deep into this town, the story slips through her fingers. This is the story Harper Lee wanted to write. This is the story of why she couldn't.
