In 1992, Cameron Todd Willingham, a poor, uneducated heavy metal devotee with a violent streak, was convicted of an arson-related triple homicide and put on death row. This is the true-life Texas story of the unlikely bond that formed between Willingham and Elizabeth Gilbert, a Houston mother of two, who battled against the state for twelve years to try to save Willingham by exposing suppressed evidence and illogical conclusions.
