middleweight boxing title. When three people were murdered in a New Jersey
bar, Carter's dreams were destroyed. Driving home from a nearby club, Carter
was wrongly arrested and sentenced to serve three life terms in prison.

Carter to prove his innocence. Their extraordinary efforts of commitment and
love ultimately secure his release.
