En gammel hund ved VRC kan endelig få et permanent hjem når et par fra Idaho kommer til New Orleans for å finne et nytt familiemedlem.

Vernon Brownmule, aka "Burnin' Vernon," is a scandal-ridden, washed-up, one-hit-wonder who was kicked out of country music, only to emerge 20 years later as the second best Elvis impersonator around. After crashing into an old country church sign during a drunken bender, he is arrested and sentenced to return and serve as the church's handyman as part of his parole. Along the way, he pretends to be the congregation's new minister and reconnects with a former one-night-stand, when he learns he has a 15-year-old daughter he's never met.

As futures hang in the balance, what would you decide? An eye-opening look at Britain's parole boards, making complex, life-changing decisions for prisoners - and their victims.
