Overview

Life seems perfect for John Brennan until his wife, Lara, is arrested for a murder she says she didnโ€™t commit. Three years into her sentence, John is struggling to hold his family together, raising their son and teaching at college while he pursues every means available to prove her innocence. With the rejection of their final appeal, Lara becomes suicidal and John decides there is only one possible, bearable solution: to break his wife out of prison.
