Season 2
The second season, fast forwards to the 1980s when Atlanta murders were much in the news and Wayne Willians was an adult man who was convicted of nearly 8 murders while the real number was 28. The second season is spent in eradicating the confusion by the protagonists behind the murders, some thought it was a propagation of hate.
