It's an eventful time of year for Halstead, Kansas. The small town is preparing for the annual Independence Day Parade - and a man's release from prison. Matt Kirby has just served seven years on a 'bum rap' for protecting a friend. But instead of celebrating his freedom, Matt faces a new set of challenges. His wife Rachel and his family struggle to accept Matt's past and attempt to deal with their own future.
