After 20 years in prison, a man wrongfully convicted of rape and murder is released. He reconnects with his now adult daughter and tries to rebuild his life. The victim's husband has become a recluse, obsessed with a true crime documentary about the case, and tries to contact law enforcement to reopen the investigation, but they consider it closed. Then the prosecutor is kidnapped in a desperate attempt to convince her to find the real killer.
