37 Partes Concluida Contenido adultoThis is my take on Defending Jacob, a "what if" for if there was a season 2. We all know how the book ends. The tv show is very different this what I thought could happen.
Andy has been tormented all of his life. He's constantly covering up his lies. What is this going to cost his family. When Jacob wakes up. Will things slowly go back to normal for the Barber family.

Will the Barber family survive, will they figure out the truth to the unanswered question "Did Jacob really murder Ben or not."
