The Last Verdict

Seventeen-year-old Ethan Cole has always been the protector - for his little sister Serena, for their fractured family, for a mother who works herself to the bone to keep them afloat.

But when their mother vanishes without a trace, Ethan is thrust into a new role: guardian, provider, and reluctant head of the household. Just as he and Serena begin to find their footing, tragedy strikes again - an attack that shatters Serena's innocence and exposes the cracks in the justice system Ethan has always trusted.

When her attacker walks free on a technicality, Ethan makes a choice that will change his life forever. One act of vengeance becomes another. Soon, Ethan isn't just protecting Serena - he's judging, sentencing, and executing those the law lets slip away.

Now, years later, Ethan sits on death row, awaiting his final verdict. But when a fellow inmate reveals a devastating truth about Serena's case, Ethan is forced to confront the question that has haunted him all along:

Was he ever delivering justice - or just carrying out a sentence of his own?
