This documentary follows the 2000 murder trial of Brenton Butler, a fifteen year old from Jacksonville who found himself at the center of a high stakes criminal investigation after a tragic shooting at a local hotel. When a tourist is killed in broad daylight, the pressure to find a suspect leads authorities to a young man walking to a job application. What follows is a look at the reality of the justice system, involving a coerced confession and a defense team determined to prove that the police ignored every piece of physical evidence in favor of a quick arrest. As the trial unfolds, the defense exposes aggressive interrogation tactics and a startling lack of investigative depth. The story does not end with the courtroom verdict, as a later discovery reveals the true perpetrator and a fingerprint that was overlooked for months. It is a portrait of a family's faith and the tireless work of a public defender fighting against a system that had already decided his client's fate.
