RECTIFY is an American television drama series exploring the life of a man after he is released from prison after nearly 20 years on Death Row following a wrongful conviction.
Aden Young stars as Daniel Holden, who spends nearly 20 years on Georgia's Death Row for the rape and murder of a teenage girl before new DNA evidence nullifies his conviction. He returns home but he's far from welcomed. He's an outsider now in a town that remains divided by his alleged crime and contributing to his uncertain future is the man who prosecuted him -- riding that notoriety to become a state senator -- is plotting to reopen the case.
As he struggles to adapt, Daniel is comforted by support from his younger sister, Amantha (Abigail Spencer), who has always believed in his innocence and has worked her entire adult life to secure his release. Not so for Ted Jr (Clayne Crawford), Daniel's stepbrother with whom he has no relationship. Insecure and manipulative, Ted is skeptical of Daniel's motives and will do anything to protect his family.
