Based on truths.
The story : In the 60s , a brutal crime was committed on children.
The two people who were convincted of the crimes - Ian Brady and his younger girlfriend Myra Hindley, were each sentenced to life terms.
At the same time , Lord Frank Longford , a man of many trades including writing and controversial campaigning was working with people who had spent time in prison and have since been released.
Out of the blue one day , Miss Hindley decided to write to Mr. Longford , asking him to visit , which of course he was more than always willing to visit any prisoner who asked.
Mr. Longford became convinced that even though the British world found Miss Hindley to be public enemy number one , that she was still a human being that could always be forgiven at least by God.
Campaigning relentlessly for Miss Hindley became Mr Longfords new importance as well as becoming more and more convinced of her innocence.
But one day , all of that changed as Miss Hindley told him something she had never told anyone...
