Danny’s life is explored through a series of interviews done by Rya Goodwin (Amanda Seyfried). Danny confronts his crucial experiences and inner struggle via the lens of his past, culminating to a revolutionary discovery. The interviews with Rya Goodwin expose the bleak timeline of events that led up to the ultimate crime.
