In 1974, with the Troubles escalating in Northern Ireland, two bombs explode in Birmingham – the biggest mass murder the UK had ever seen. Six Irishmen are given 21 life sentences and left to die in prison as the most despised convicts in history. It would take superhuman strength and indomitable courage for them to prove their innocence. They found it in a diminutive giant called Paddy Joe Hill. This is his astonishing, uplifting true story of redemption against seemingly insurmountable odds.
