The Summons

As a renowned figure in the community known for his dominance in both local law and politics for four decades, Judge Atlee has now retreated to his expansive family home in Clanton, Mississippi at the end of his life. With his health failing, he has summoned his two sons, Ray and Forrest, to discuss his estate. Ray, a recently divorced law professor from Virginia, is the older brother while Forrest is the family's black sheep. The Judge, using his distinguished stationery, has personally written the summons, providing a specific date and time for the meeting in his study. Despite his reluctance, Ray makes the journey back to his hometown, a place he has been avoiding. However, the meeting never takes place as the Judge passes away too soon, leaving behind a shocking secret that only Ray and potentially someone else know about.
