Steven Truscott (Greg Bryk) was 14 when he gave classmate Lynne Harper a ride on his bike. It was 1959. He saw her go off into a car. She's later found brutally murdered and he's sentenced to be executed. It's decades later and he is free, but his wife Marlene (Kristin Booth) wants to prove his innocence after DNA exonerated other famous cases. As a teen, Marlene (Julia Sarah Stone) read about his case and worked to get his release. He does get paroled after some public pressure and ten years in prison.
This could be more compelling as a murder mystery, but the movie is trying to make a different point. I get it although it doesn't make it more compelling. It's an interesting idea nevertheless. I must admit that once the movie gives up a real suspect, my attention waned a bit.
