Blane (Michael B. Jordan), who graduated from Harvard Law School, is running a non-profit organization dedicated to providing legal aid to prisoners sentenced to death. With the help of Eva (Brie Larson), Blane's beautiful vision took root. He had his own office and gained his first client. Walter (Jamie Foxx) was once sentenced to death and imprisoned, although he had a very sufficient alibi. In a blink of an eye, 6 years later, when Blane saw Walter, he found that his spirit had been tortured by a long prison life. Blane decided to help Walter appeal, but his passionate actions were cold to the new prosecutor. In the absence of support, Blane still insisted on overturning the case for Walter.
