This is a fictional story of a bank robbery in a small South Carolina town. It is a story about two men who wanted to get away from the monotony of life for a week and take an exciting trip to Acapulco. It is the story of a blind witness who is a witness for and against the robbers. It is a story of the American justice system. It is a story of the joys and hardships of farming. However, it is mostly a love story. The story of redemption because of the great love Jesus has for His people and how that love can lead to people loving people and how that love can lead to forgiveness. Will the defendants be sentenced to death, get life in prison, or be set free?
