In August 1985, a quiet Philadelphia neighborhood is shattered by tragedy. A house goes up in flames, with two young boys trapped inside. Police and fire investigators suspect their father, Daniel Dougherty, intentionally set the fire, but they don't have the evidence to arrest him - until fourteen years later, when Daniel's ex-wife comes forward to say he confessed to her. In the years since he ended up on death row, Daniel's case has gone to trial an astonishing three times.

When police track down one of the surviving drug dealers, he names 17-year-old Nanon Williams as the shooter, and other witnesses back up the story. Nanon becomes one of just over thirty juveniles on death row in America, but he pleads his innocence. As his appeals attorneys reexamine the evidence, they learn that the state made a grave error: the bullet in the victim's brain didn't come from Nanon's gun, but his co-defendant's - a man who only served four years in prison. Prosecutors stand by the conviction, even as Nanon tries to prove he's redeemed himself behind bars.
