This is a true story. Gerry (played by Daniel Day-Lewis) lives in war-torn Northern Ireland during a time when the Irish Republican Army is opposed to British colonial rule. Young Gerry spends his days idling around, getting into petty trouble, and inadvertently offends the IRA. In desperation, his father (played by Pete Postlethwaite) sends him to England to make a life for himself. However, upon arrival in England, Gerry is falsely accused by eager local police of being a terrorist from the IRA, which results in his aunt and her family in England also being imprisoned as terrorists. Gerry's father pleads for help but ends up being imprisoned as well. The father and son suffer greatly in prison. It is not until many years later that a British female lawyer begins to investigate this absurd miscarriage of justice from the beginning. Will this wrongful conviction be overturned, and will the father and son see freedom again?
