Michael is a Black Latino man who is as happy as he ever thought he could be. He is married to the love of his life and is a new father to baby Victoria. But like all perfect times in life the next storm is right around the corner. For Michael, it comes when on a normal night starts like any other night; he begins to lock up the hardware store that has been in his family for decades. His wife and daughter visit then leave and in the midst of a few seconds and series of choices that seemed so normal his life changes. Those choices soon turn into mistakes as he wakes up in a hospital bed handcuffed to a bed and charged with murder. It is in his reflection of the events of that night and the racially fueled misrepresentation of the facts by the police in his trail that landed him in jail, an innocent man. A love story mixed with the reality of a legal system that is in some cases still racially motivated.
Will the real story of that night ever be told? Will Michael get a second trial and be found innocent? But the most important question is, when will it be the norm for all men to be created equal? When will all of us own that as a right that we are gifted as an American citizen? Maybe now, maybe later or maybe¿ never.
