Tell me if you’ve heard this one before: a teenager is picked up on suspicion of being a murder suspect, he’s detained and questioned by police for hours until he confesses, and then ends up in jail for the rest of his life. It’s a sad story that seems to happen with some regularity, from Steven Truscott, a teenager in rural Ontario wrongly convicted of murdering classmate Lynn Harper, to David McCallum, who in 1985 was supposed to have killed 16-year-old Nathan Blenner with his friend Willie Stuckey in Brooklyn.

It’s a film about how the most unlikely of people, and the most unlikely of connections, can teach us something profound about ourselves.
