A priest  hears the confession of a frightened prison inmate, and he learns that a man facing lethal injection in 84 hours is innocent. The lead investigator on the high-profile case was his old his friend Sean O'Brien.  And now O'Brien has a chance to right a horrible wrong.

Appeals have expired and the man will be executed in 84 hours unless O'Brien can find evidence that points to the real killer.  The 24th letter in the Greek alphabet--Omega--may provide the key to uncovering the killer's identity.
