From the company that brought you Poetic License comes Murder in the First, inspired by a compelling true story of the case that ultimately led to the closing of Alcatraz - the most notorious correctional institution in U.S. history.

With a cast of fifteen including GUY BURNET, CHAD KIMBALL and LARISSA POLONSKY
