| Told in the point of view of both the hero and the villain, Two Wrongs explores the tragic consequences of wrongful imprisonment.
When young Danny Callaway mistakenly testifies against Kevin Green, the classmate of his murdered sister, he sets in motion a tragic series of events. Kevin receives a prison sentence instead of the death sentence, which enrages both Danny and Kevin. Both plot each other deaths. Danny finds some surcease playing basketball, enters the pros and marries his college sweetheart. Kevin has no such relief. His hatred and envy of Danny grow in prison, where he is surrounded by criminals who are only too happy to clue him in on various methods of murder. When missing DNA evidence is unearthed and Kevin is freed, the people Danny loves start dying. He must finish the job he started years ago, even if it means losing a second chance at love. | ||
