The story follows Donte Drumm, a young black man whose own forced confession put him on death row nine years ago for the rape and murder of a high school cheerleader, a crime he didn’t commit. He has only four days to go until his execution.
It’s then that Travis Boyette, who has just been paroled in Kansas for a different crime, walks into a priest’s office and confesses to the rape and murder from nine years earlier. Suffering from an inoperable brain tumor, Boyette has to convince lawyers, judges, and politicians that they’re about to execute an innocent man.
