Hunt for truth tests moral boundaries.

The film follows Emily Nestor and her Mile Marker 181 podcast, as she conducts an amateur investigation into the death of Jaleayah Davis. It examines the ethics of the true crime genre through Emily's pursuits of her top suspects. With a growing audience of millions, the podcast becomes a hit, but as she probes deeper into the case, she's confronted with a new truth she struggles to tell her listeners. Told in real time over several years, the film chronicles the rise, fall and redemption of a podcaster in the new media language.
