Synopsis

Bill Bak­er trav­els from Okla­homa to Mar­seille to vis­it his estranged daugh­ter Alli­son, impris­oned for a mur­der she claims she did not com­mit. Alli­son seizes on a new tip that could exon­er­ate her and press­es Bill to engage her legal team. But Bill, eager to prove his worth and regain his daugh­ters trust, takes mat­ters into his own hands. He is quick­ly stymied by lan­guage bar­ri­ers, cul­tur­al dif­fer­ences, and a com­pli­cat­ed legal system—until he meets French actress Vir­ginie. Togeth­er, these unlike­ly allies embark on a jour­ney of dis­cov­ery, truth, love, and liberation.
