Based on a true story, Dee Roberts is a 24 year-old African American single mother of four struggling to make ends meet in her small town. When cops arrest her in a drug sweep, she insists she's innocent, but finds herself charged as a drug dealer and given an ultimatum: Remain in prison or plead guilty and return home as a convicted felon. Refusing a plea bargain that would allow her to avoid jail time, Roberts stands up against a corrupt law enforcement and judicial system.
