Years of carrying out death row executions have taken a toll on prison warden Bernadine Williams (Alfre Woodard). As she prepares to execute another inmate, Bernadine must confront the psychological and emotional demons her job creates, ultimately connecting her to the man she is sanctioned to kill.

Alfre Woodard should have been nominated for Best Actress. Full stop. Her performance is as strong and powerful as it is vulnerable and true.
