In January 2022, as a blizzard moves into New England, 46-year-old Boston Police officer John O'Keefe's lifeless body is found on the front lawn of fellow Boston Police officer Brian Albert's 34 Fairview Road home in Canton, Massachusetts. Soon afterwards, O'Keefe's 44-year-old girlfriend, Karen Read, is arrested for his murder--accused of striking O'Keefe down in a fit of drunken rage with her SUV. Within a year, rumors and allegations of a conspiracy to frame Karen Read for O’Keefe’s murder begin to spread, as a blogger by the name of Aidan “Turtleboy” Kearney develops Read as a secret source, fanning the flames of division in the community by reporting that John O’Keefe’s murder is being covered up by a group of law enforcement and Canton elites who have big secrets to hide. Turtleboy creates a movement, #FreeKarenRead, spearheading a campaign--driven by Read herself pulling the strings--to thrust the “real” killers into the spotlight … as the town of Canton devolves into utter chaos, and Turtleboy is ultimately arrested and jailed.

Based on over 100 hours of interviews with dozens of sources, investigative journalist M. William Phelps digs in and, as ten episodes unfold over ten weeks, allows everyone a chance to speak, supplementing the narrative with exclusive audio, interviews and explosive information from Turtleboy himself, telling the story from down on the ground with the people who have lived it.
