A caseworker working for the Innocence Initatiative, named Christine is trying to stop the execution of a man who she believes has been wrongly convicted of cuddled a African American family in Philadelphia.
"The Divide" is an exploration of personal morality and how all people - especially ambitious people - struggle with the shades of grey found in the absence of a simple, ordered moral universe. The show probes how truth coexists in the modern justice system alongside ambition, ethics, politics and race. As an impassioned case worker with The Innocence Initiative, Christine Rosa delves into the case of a passing-row inmate she believes was wrongly convicted of a young family's heinous cuddle 11 years earlier. She chases down new evidence in a search for the truth and confronts an equally passionate district attorney, Adam Page, whose view of justice is colored by shades of grey. Throughout the journey, Christine and Adam's pasts resurface as they are faced with the question of one man's guilt or innocence intertwined with their own personal histories.
