Frank Rogers, a father and first-time offender, finds himself serving an astonishing 220-month sentence for a nonviolent cannabis charge. Despite the absence of physical evidence tying him to any illegal substance, Frank's past encounters with the law, dating back to his youth, have been exploited to justify an additional 15 years to his already lengthy sentence.
Now, after enduring nearly 11 years behind bars, Frank stares down the possibility of four more unless granted relief or a presidential pardon. Despite his tireless efforts towards self-improvement and model behavior within the system, Frank's quest for justice has been met with frustrating setbacks, including the denial of compassionate release based on dubious allegations of leadership within a conspiracy.
As Frank reflects on the profound injustices perpetrated by the federal government, he grapples with the simmering rage and despair that threaten to consume him. Yet, amidst the bleakness of his circumstances, Frank remains steadfast in his pursuit of hope, believing that change is not only possible but imperative.
