Robert Brown, barely out of his teens was sentenced for murder in 1977, the victim of falsified police confessions. He was released 25 years later, after it was determined his verdict could not be considered safe. He was released just in time to watch his Mother die and has spent the years since retreating from a world he doesn’t understand and feels doesn’t understand him, becoming consumed by his profound need for an apology from the state, and to see the corrupt police who brutalized him brought to justice.
