Synopsis

"What if you had 72 days to save everything you live for?

John Brennan and his wife, Lara, have a happy marriage and perfect life, until Lara is arrested for murder, convicted and sentenced to prison. Always claiming her innocence and strenuously denying she ever committed the murder, John believes her and three years later finds him fighting to prove this.

He faces a daily struggle of looking after their son while teaching at a college but still pursues every legal course he can take. When their final appeal is rejected by the court, Lara descends into depression and becomes suicidal.

Faced with the reality of losing the love of his life, John sees no other course of action can be taken other than breaking his wife out of jail. In spite of his lack of experience for such a scheme, he devises an elaborate escape plot, and plunges head first into unfamiliar territory, ultimately risking everything for the woman he loves.
