TUNE-IN TO A MARATHON OF “RECTIFY”
AIRING ON AMC SUNDAY JULY 14th STARTING AT 9AM ET/PT
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – Starting Sunday July 14th at 9:00AM ET/PT AMC invites viewers to tune-in to a marathon of “Rectify”, which originally aired on their sister-network, Sundance Channel. The drama series created and written by Ray McKinnon, and executive produced by Mark Johnson and Melissa Bernstein, the award-winning team behind “Breaking Bad”. Viewers can catch up on the series that has been hailed by TV Guide’s Matt Roush as “TV’s most absorbing, unsettling new drama” and by The Daily Beast’s Jace Lacob as “quite simply, the best new show of 2013”.
When Daniel Holden (Aden Young) is released after 20 years of complete isolation on death row, he returns as an outsider to his family, to his community, and to the times. Somehow, he survived the mental and emotional strain of his imprisonment, but now the walls have suddenly come crumbling down and Daniel is set free in a world he no longer understands. He’s an outsider, lost in a once familiar world, struggling to navigate his new found freedom. Combined with two decades of technological and social changes to his small town and the larger world, everything he encounters is a puzzle.
Daniel’s unexpected presence not only throws his family into disarray, it ripples out to all the people connected to his case – the prosecutor who rode the notoriety to become a State Senator, the Sheriff who pushed the boundaries of the investigation, and the entire town of Paulie, GA that blamed him for killing one of their own. Like a deadly spark, Daniel’s release reignites the mystery, the power plays, and the questionable justice that condemned him.
