Freed
Synopsis/Details:
Elderly Lucius Johnson finds himself reluctantly freed after nearly fifty years in prison. The system casts him into a world very different from the one he left so many years ago. With no family to welcome him back, he accepts a ride from a stranger who forces him to confront his past. They both quickly learn the actions that landed Lucius in prison were not what they seemed, but their fates have been intertwined from the beginning and they have to see this through till the end.
