This show has given a raw and poignant narration of the incidents that took place in the life of the high school football player Greg Kelley.
Kelley was a star athlete who was on the peak of his sports career success when he was accused of molesting a 4-year-old young boy. The account given by the young boy and his family was heartbreaking and appalling. Kelley tried to deny the accusation fearing that he would lose his college scholarship and facing imprisonment.
However, as things progressed the reality came to light and the struggle of Kelley is shown as he tries to convince his near dear ones and the official authorities that he is being wrongly accused. The evidence, however, said otherwise. There was far too much evidence which implied that he had committed the horrific crime.
Kelley was sentenced to 27 years of imprisonment for molesting a minor and for hiding from the lawsuit. His scholarship was revoked and the justice was served. The show is the recipient of 8.2/10 ratings from IMBd and 83% from rotten tomatoes. The series was directed by Pat Kondelis.

This show calls out to the power that the rich and wealthy abuse over the middle-class and lower-middle-class families.
