Pam O’Brien (Sissy Spacek) is a suburban Connecticut housewife and mother whose life is turned upside down when she learns that her high school sweetheart, Russell Gates (David Strathairn), has been convicted of killing a policeman and is on death row in South Carolina. Though she hasn’t heard from Russell for twenty years, since he returned from Vietnam, this news rekindles old feelings. Knowing that he will soon be electrocuted, Pam writes to Russell, much to her husband Keith’s (Arliss Howard) dismay.
