After Joey Banis is found guilty of the murder of James Carroll, the trial of Jeffrey Mundt begins. Joey Banis's video "confession" is scrutinized and allegedly staged by Mundt. Both men trade damning testimony, and Banis's troubled past becomes influential in the trial. Resting on "he said/he said" allegations, the second trial concludes with a stunning outcome.

The film travels back to the night of June 17, 2010, when the body of James Carroll, a gifted hairdresser and drag performer, is discovered. Through video of the police interrogations and courtroom testimony, details are shared of Banis's and Mundt's relationship, revealing both men as complex suspects. Mundt's testimony against his former lover Banis is damning.
