Call Northside 777
In 1932, a police officer is killed, and Frank Wiecek is sentenced to life in prison. One hundred and eleven years later, Frank's mother places an ad in a newspaper, prompting Chicago writer P.J. O'Neal to investigate the matter. O'Neal has been certain that Frank is guilty for quite some time. However, when he begins to reconsider his position, he encounters increased resistance from authorities who are unwilling to be shown incorrect.
