Twelve Angry Jurors contemplates the huge responsibility of 12 ordinary people who must decide the guilt or innocence of a teenager accused of murder. It looks like an open-and-shut case — until one voice casts doubts and challenges a deeper examination of the facts. In the sweltering jury room each person brings their individual histories, biases, and prejudices to the table as they struggle to reach a unanimous decision that will decide one youth's fate. Twelve Angry Jurors explores how our actions (or inaction) have consequences.

Dr. Lynn Cummings, an astrophysicist, tries to bring science and faith into balance while grappling with personal questions, reconnecting with her daughter, and mourning the loss of her husband. When an unidentified object is discovered heading toward Earth, a less-than-reputable online magazine misquotes her, casting doubt on her credibility. The two-time Nobel Prize nominee and the ambitious journalist monitor the mysterious object. Dr. Cummings hopes to witness nothing remarkable and thus save her reputation, but there is no telling what she will discover beyond the stars. By Sean Grennan.
