He penned a confession just days before his mysterious death, admitting to killing the young girl. Jake suspects that the confession was forced and that the DNA was tainted. Jake's vengeful quest tangles him in a web of powerful figures. They have a vested interest in keeping him from learning of his sister's fate.
