A earnest, character-driven drama about systemic injustice and redemption, anchored by a paralegal's 22-year crusade to free a wrongfully convicted man and the deep friendship forged through their struggle.
Janet Gregory, a single mother with a haunting past, is a paralegal struggling to overcome doubts about Calvin Willis, an African-American husband and father wrongfully accused of raping a neighborhood girl.
