Loosely inspired by the famous Bulger murder in 1993 in England, this film tells the fictional story of James Landers and Carl Withers who were only ten-years old when they kidnapped and murdered three-year old David McClendon. James and Carl were caught, tried, convicted and placed in separate juvenile facilities. At eighteen-years old, both were given new names and released back into society, much to the horror of the nation. The story follows the lives of these two boys as they try to start over, escape the past and survive the growing outcry following their release.
