A brutally honest portrait of life after wrongful conviction, this film follows Barry Gibbs' larger than life character caught in the worst case of NYPD corruption. Beginning where all wrongful conviction stories end, Barry’s story is about trauma and healing as he embarks on a journey to become whole again, only to find the loss of freedom can never be undone.
