Victor Sloane, a wealthy and ruthless landlord, was found murdered in his office – his young child the sole witness to the crime.

Police charged tenant Tre Bennet, a reclusive man battling mental health issues, claiming he had the clearest motive: months of unpaid rent, repeated eviction threats, and allegations that Sloane verbally abused his mother.

But is Bennet truly the killer—or is there more beneath the surface?
