Bryan Stevenson is een getalenteerde jonge advocaat. Hij vertrekt naar Alabama om daar de meest kwetsbare mensen te verdedigen in de racistisch beladen staat. Een van hen is Walter McMillian, een man die tot de doodstraf is veroordeeld wegens moord. Dit terwijl het bewijs aantoont dat hij onschuldig is. Gebaseerd op een waargebeurd verhaal.
