The investigating officer: "I've seen a lot of homicides in the years since, but...that's the one that keeps me up at night."
The husband's best man: "They had everybody fooled. Or at least, she did. But I always knew something was off."
Hannah, the wife: "I told you. I don't remember anything. I don't know."
That's all to come, this season, on Conviction. Get ready for our most twisted season yet.

Ten years ago, Hannah's husband was brutally murdered in their home, and she (conveniently) doesn't remember a thing about that night. But the police charged someone else—a stranger—and put him away for life. And Hannah packed up her six-year-old daughter and left London behind.
But now her hard-won countryside peace is threatened. Conviction, a viral true crime podcast known for getting cases reopened and old verdicts overturned, has turned its attention to Hannah's husband's murder for its new season. They say police framed the man who was found guilty, and that Hannah has more suspicious secrets than just her memory loss: a history of volatility; citations at the clinic where she worked as a psychiatrist; dependencies on alcohol and pills; and a familicidal grandmother, locked away in a Gothic insane asylum until her death. As Hannah loses the trust of everyone she loves, the only person she feels she can confide in is a former colleague, Darcy, who's come back into her life—but who may have motives of her own. But Hannah can't tell even Darcy her deepest secret: that she's still tormented by the memory of her husband and the crater he carved through her life.
