Nothing but the Truth

On a hot summer night in Boston, a thirteen-year-old African-American girl became the innocent victim of gang-related gunfire. Amid public outcry, an immediate manhunt was on to catch the murderer, and a young African-American man was quickly apprehended, charged, and wrongly convicted of the crime. Trell was only a baby when her father was imprisoned, but she has always been certain of his innocence. Twelve years after his conviction, she persuades a down-on-his-luck reporter and a determined lawyer to help clear her fathers' name. As they attempt to uncover back-door deals, track down crucial witnesses and unearth vital evidence that will prove her fathers' innocence, it becomes clear that some people in the neighbourhood want to keep this information hidden at any cost.
