It’s 10 p.m. on a Thurs­day dur­ing her fresh­man year of col­lege, and April is stand­ing in the back of a crowd­ed Man­hat­tan bar wait­ing for her friend Rudy to arrive. Their eyes lock the moment he enters the room — and in an instant, lives and lega­cies are altered for­ev­er. 

With­in hours, Rudy is arrest­ed. With­in days, April is expelled. With­in weeks, Rudy is incar­cer­at­ed. And with­in months, April meets Peter, a prodi­gious young attor­ney who makes her world rec­og­niz­able again.

Years lat­er, April is mar­ried to Peter and hap­pi­ly liv­ing in Chica­go, a moth­er of three with a ful­fill­ing career and stand­ing yoga date with her girl­friends. But on the eve of Peter’s elec­tion for local office, Rudy is up for parole. Head­lines explode about April’s past, jeop­ar­diz­ing Peter’s cam­paign and every­thing they hold dear. Sud­den­ly, April is faced with an impos­si­ble choice: Pro­tect the life she cre­at­ed, or the per­son who sac­ri­ficed every­thing to make that life a pos­si­bil­i­ty? 

Anchored by the bib­li­cal verse, Jus­tice, Jus­tice, Shall You Pur­sue, Such Good Peo­ple is a cap­ti­vat­ing por­trait of blurred lines, divid­ed loy­al­ties, and stead­fast love.
