Following the true story of a young kind guy, Ryan Ferguson, who is falsely accused of committing a murder and sentenced to 40 years in prison, while his father does his best to prove his innocence by making a campaign that supports him.
The fact that viewers, like the Fergusons, can muster only bittersweet relief at Ryan's release from prison is the film's whole point: The legal system itself is so damningly captured.
