Great movie about the difficulty of acknowledging the truth

Warning: Spoilers
It's bad enough dealing with the shock of finding out your parents and brother have been murdered. But Walker Morrison and the extended Morrison family as well as Luke's fiancé Kimberly and the Granger family could not accept the possibility that Luke Morrison was responsible. Walker's wife Patti, however, was more receptive to the evidence that Sheriff Byron Calhoun had accumulated and started to get scared.

Luke and Walker had an altercation because Walker refused to go to Luke's wedding after Luke had refused to take a more extensive polygraph test. Over time, there were other signs in Luke's behavior, such as tearing apart their deceased father's office looking for another will that would have given Luke control over the entire trucking operation, that may have started to give Walker some doubts. Luke blew through his inheritance at an alarming rate. Eventually, Walker and Luke had a falling out and Luke left town with Kimberly.

Walker experienced one flashback into childhood showing all was not well in the Morrison household, with their mother, Flo, having favored the youngest son Bobby, now murdered. Maybe there were reasons Luke might have been a tad resentful? In another flashback, Walker himself was the target of their father Garth's anger, prompting Garth to write Walker out of the family will. Walker and Garth subsequently made amends. Though Garth had expressed an intention to the family lawyer of modifying the will again, he had not filed that will before he was murdered.

A year and a half later, Luke and Kimberly were back in town with an infant son, and Luke called up Walker to try and "patch things up." Sheriff Calhoun finally convinced Walker to wear a wire while talking to Luke so they could all finally get at the truth that had been eating away at the Morrisons and the town.
