Deadline (2012): Ratings & Plot

From Nashville to the sun-baked town of Amos, Alabama, a young newspaper reporter named Matt Harper is sent to cover the murder that rattles this quiet community—the police chief’s death. In Amos he meets Trey Hall, a 21-year-old blue-blood who lives on her family’s hunting plantation and has a keen interest in reopening a nearly twenty-year-old mystery. Trey pushes Matt to investigate the unsolved killing of a black teenager, Wallace Sampson, convinced that cracking the case could finally give him the break he’s been chasing. Motivated by career ambitions and a growing sense of responsibility, Matt dives into the investigation, even as personal life takes a hit: he forgets an appointment for his upcoming wedding, and his fiancée, Delana Calhoun, calls it off.
