Overview
Un hombre inocente va a ser ejecutado. Solamente puede salvarle el culpable del crimen que no cometió. Travis Boyette es un asesino. En 1998, en una pequeña ciudad de Texas, raptó, violó y estranguló a una de las chicas más guapas y más populares del instituto. Enterró el cadáver en un lugar donde nadie lo encontraría nunca y luego esperó. Observó impasible mientras la policía detenía a Donté Drumm, la estrella del equipo de fútbol que nada había tenido que ver con el crimen. Donté fue acusado, declarado culpable y condenado a muerte.
Ahora han transcurrido nueve años y solo faltan cuatro días para la ejecución de Donté. En Kansas, a más de seiscientos kilómetros de la cárcel, Travis también se enfrenta a su destino: un tumor cerebral que le deja muy poco tiempo de vida. Decide hacer lo correcto por primera vez: va a confesar.
Pero¿será capaz un hombre culpable de convencer a los abogados, los jueces y los políticos de que están a punto de ejecutar a un hombre inocente?ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
An innocent man is about to be executed.
Only a guilty man can save him.
In 1998, in the small East Texas city of Sloan, Travis Boyette abducted, raped, and strangled a popular high school cheerleader. He buried her body so that it would never be found, then watched in amazement as police and prosecutors arrested and convicted Donté Drumm, a local football star, and marched him off to death row.
Now nine years have passed. Travis has just been paroled in Kansas for a different crime; Donté is four days away from his execution. Travis suffers from an inoperable brain tumor. For the first time in his miserable life, he decides to do what's right and confess. But how can a guilty man convince lawyers, judges, and politicians that they're about to execute an innocent man?
