Synopsis
A young black engineer is given a life sentence in prison for a crime he did not commit. Lenell Geter's life is running smoothly, but suddenly things fall apart when he and his roommate, a fellow engineer, are arrested and charged with armed robbery. Even though he steadfastly believes that the justice system will uphold his innocence, it is not until he gains media publicity through the efforts of his defense team, friends, and colleagues, that he is finally released after being in prison for 16 months. Based on a true event.
