Law student David (Derek) kills his best friend in self-defence, confessing to his father (Cobb), a criminal lawyer, who advises him to go to the police. His mother, however, tells him to keep quiet, and his moral dilemma deepens further when an innocent man is accused of the killing, potentially facing the death penalty.

The Family Secret is a riveting exploration of guilt and family tensions.
