The crime is one of Britain's most infamous unsolved murder cases, not only because it involved the brutal cold-blooded killing of a young boy, but because the case became embroiled in controversy when the four armed robbers who had been sent to prison for Carl's murder, the 'Bridgewater Four', had their convictions overturned some twenty years later when it was uncovered that one of their confessions had been forged by the police.
Professor Wilson re-examines the evidence surrounding Carl's murder and obtains devastating admissions from the person Bert considered to be his alibi along with his ex-wife--who breaks a near 40 year silence.
Professor Wilson, who has worked with some of the most violent prisoners in the country, presents his findings and his impressions of Spencer, following many hours in his company, directly to him which culminates in a blistering exchange at the end of the film.
