Kelley was handed a 25 year prison sentence - with no possibility for parole - but a huge wave of public protest in the community offering support for Kelley emerged, as the legitimacy of the investigation was brought into doubt.

Questions were asked about the tactics used by the prosecution while Kelley's growing group of fervent supporters tried to get the verdict overturned - with Kelley eventually freed in 2017, four years after the initial conviction.

The documentary explores the case, focusing on the movement that sought to prove Kelley's innocence and including access to Kelley himself as well as his supporters.
