It had been less than two months since his arrest, and his death sentence was already about to be carried out. Everyone else on death row had years to think about their crimes before their execution. Tim's situation was very different, as there was no question of his guilt. There was no need for an appeal of any kind. No one could ever prove him innocent because he wasn't.
Though the demons and darkness Tim was born into were not his choosing, he is forced to confront and overcome them if he is ever to have joy in his life. After the sudden passing of his alcoholic father, Tim comes to know God through Roger, the father of Jessica, one of his friends from high school. Finding the answers to the tough questions allows him see the truth. Coming to terms with the past, battling through the distractions of the present, and keeping an eye on the future are all challenges Tim faces. Tim's life is very complicated, but his discovery that our time here on earth is not all there is provides the hope he needs to overcome all obstacles. Through the power of forgiveness, Tim pulls the pieces of his life together just to have them all ripped back apart by An Unforgivable Crime.
