What do you think your life would be like if you were a short, skinny kid, bullied before and during high school because of your first name, Francis, and your size? You try to fight back-to no avail. The bully graduates, but the bullying continues. You learn self-defense courses, and the bullying stops, but you can't forget. Over a year later, in disguise at the July the Fourth fireworks in New York, you stalk the bully, and he's stabbed to death in front of his girlfriend. You pay a condolence call to her, and you're shocked when she starts a relationship with you. You become a prime suspect in the murder because you had means, motive, opportunity, and no alibi. You proclaim your innocence. Then 9-11 happens and you join the marines, but when you return from boot camp you're arrested for the murder and put on trial. With all the evidence against you, how do you prove your innocence, or can you? It's an uphill battle.
