This harrowing documentary chronicles the decade long trials and emotional traumas incurred by a gay Michigan man, Stephen Matthews, and his father, Melvin Matthews, who were wrongfully accused by Stephen's ex-girlfriend and her husband of molesting Stephen's son. Despite no physical evidence, both Stephen and Melvin were wrongfully sentenced to 35 years in prison. A movie that serves as a terrifying example of injustice carried out by a society of legal labyrinths, armed with flawed science and age old bias against sexual orientations.
