Martin 'Mohamed' Lundy ('The Cyclops'; Boyd Holbrook) has been released by the efforts of by the Innocence Project after at least 17 years in prison and is working at Second Chance animal shelter run by Linda Workman (Octavia Spencer). A badly injured dog is brought in by Doris Lamb (Elisabeth Moss) and her unsympathetic husband John, a police officer. The dog is put down due to his injuries. Doris comes back to the shelter incapable of caring for herself. Mohamed takes her in without anyone knowing about it. He learns that Doris' husband has been killed and his wife is a person of interest. Law enforcement look to Mohamed providing the information needed to solve the murder. Mohamed and Doris grow to respect each other. No one is aware that she is holding out at Mohamed's. Doris imagines she sees her dog outside Mohamed's apartment and while going after it locks herself out. Mohamed comes home to find her waiting at the door and their thoughts are that law enforcement will capture them so they go on the run. They make contact with Mohamed's brother who takes him to someone that will take them to safety but are themselves held captive. They escape, are stopped on the highway by law enforcement and are in a stand-off. Mohamed goes for something, law enforcement shot him and from out of his pocket drop prayer beads. Mohamed survives his injuries and visits Doris while she is serving her prison sentence for the murder of her husband.. Engelsk tale, uten tekst
