Burden of Truth

Joanna and Billy are convinced that the local steel mill and its owner Ben Matheson are responsible for the barrels. A shocking revelation in Joanna's personal life leads her to question everything her father had told her.

The sick girls and their families are faced with the mill employees who are worried about losing their jobs.

As threats against her and Billy escalate, Joanna hopes that a neuropsychologist will prove that the girls were poisoned.

Stuck in Millwood without a case and no firm to return to, Joanna is at loose ends on what to do next until a whistleblower comes forward.

New leads bring Joanna and Billy to make the horrific discovery of a massive dumpsite on farmland near the school. Joanna’s father takes over as lead counsel and it becomes clear that they’re running out of time.

After being reinstated, Joanna plays her trump card, but it's not enough to elicit a settlement.
