Film Synopsis
In May of 1993, three young boys were brutally murdered in the small town of West Memphis, Arkansas, and three local teenagers were arrested and tried for the crime. Convicted on the strength of a dubious confession and very little physical evidence, the three spent eighteen years in prison as the case became the subject of intense scrutiny.
