What: Don Murray (Bus Stop) and Keir Dullea (2001: A Space Odyssey) deliver "honest, heartfelt" (Time) performances in this true-life story of a St. Louis hero. Reverend Charles Dismas Clark (Murray) is a man of the cloth who fights a never-ending battle to give ex-convicts a chance for a better life. His efforts are jeopardized, however, when a young parolee becomes caught in a tragic, horrifying conflict. As the wheels of justice turn, Clark's ideals are put to the ultimate test and a young man's very life hangs in the balance. Filmed in Jefferson City and St. Louis, MO.
