Imagine, spending 18 years in prison for a crime youdidn’t commit!

October 1997. Late one night in Fairbanks, Alaska, a passerby finds a teenager unconscious, collapsed on the edge of the road, beaten nearly beyond recognition. Two days later, he dies in the hospital. His name is John Gilbert Hartman and he's just turned 15 years old. The police quickly arrest four suspects, all under the age of 21 and of Alaska Native and American Indian descent. Police lineup witnesses, trials follow, and all four men receive lengthy prison terms. Case closed.

But journalist Brian Patrick O'Donoghue can't put thestory out of his mind. When the opportunity arises to teach a class on investigative reporting, he finally digs into what happened to the "Fairbanks Four."

A relentless search for the truth ensues as O'Donoghue and his students uncover the lies, deceit, and prejudice that putfour innocent young men in jail.
