In the heart of San Francisco's Chinatown on June 3, 1973, an innocent man falls victim to a senseless act of violence in the midst of a gang war. Unjustly accused and convicted, 20-year-old Chol Soo Lee, a Korean immigrant with a troubled past, finds himself sentenced to life imprisonment based on insubstantial evidence and the misguided testimonies of white tourists unable to differentiate between Asian features. As he struggles to endure the harsh realities of incarceration, his plight catches the attention of journalist K.W. Lee, who becomes determined to uncover the truth behind Chol Soo Lee's wrongful conviction. His tireless investigation triggers an unprecedented pan-Asian American grassroots movement that rallies around the injustice done to Chol Soo Lee and paves the way for a new era of social justice activism.
