After a wrongful incarceration lands him behind bars for nearly 40 years, Raymond Flanks must adjust to life in the 21st century and chart his future in a world that's remarkably different from the one he remembers.
Raymond Flanks was just 20 years old when he was wrongfully incarcerated at the Louisiana State Penitentiary. He spent nearly four decades in prison for a crime he didn't commit, until suppressed evidence came to light and led to an overturned conviction. Upon his release after almost 40 years, Raymond found that he needed to adjust to life in the 21st century and develop the skills necessary to survive in a world remarkably different from the one he remembered.
