As Sam delves deeper into the case, he uncovers a web of corruption and deceit that threatens to destroy Jimmy's life and freedom. With the help of a wise and aging convict named Frank Murphy (Morgan Freeman), Sam fights against the odds to clear Jimmy's name and bring justice to the brutal system that has wronged him.
