A death row convict denies a series of 'honour killings' linked to his daughter, but secrets from his past might tell a different story.
It was one of the largest police investigations in the history of Texas - two murders that left baffled police thinking there was an Iranian hit squad at work in Houston. In the press it was portrayed as a modern-day Romeo and Juliet story. At the heart of the film is Ali Irsan, interviewed on death row. The prosecution portrayed him as a father so outraged that his daughter had run off with a Christian that he went on an 鈥榟onour killing鈥� murder spree. With no murder weapon found and no DNA evidence linking him to either crime, he and his sons claim he is totally innocent and the victim of Islamophobia.
This film follows the twists and turns of this extraordinary story, with Ali Irsan, his family, the press and the police investigation.
