This is the terrible story of Linda Kelley, whose family in 1996 became the first to witness the execution of a man responsible for killing two of its members. The man, Leo Ernest Jenkins Jr., killed the Kelley's children Mark, 25, and Kara, 20, during the robbery of their Houston pawn shop in 1988.

Linda Kelley, her husband Jim, daughter Robin, and grandmother Angeline reveal how they faced the violent death of the couple's two other children, and how they prepared themselves to watch Leo Jenkins Jr., the murderer, die of lethal injection. They take a tour of the death chamber, and fret about the proper dress code for an execution.

Kelley's emotional litany of feelings as she watches Jenkins Jr. die includes frustration with an American legal system still arguing about the value of the death penalty as a deterrent. Directed by British filmmaker Rod Williams and produced by Roger James, this documentary raises deep questions about the psychology and ethics of retribution, and encourages public discourse on a volatile issue. Does retribution give us what we want? This film is of historical interest but the issues raised are still current.
