After having been found NOT to be a Dangerous Offender, Richard Condo was given an 8-year prison sentence to be followed by a 10-year supervision order as a long term offender, Section 753.2. At his release from prison in July of 2006, Richard Condo faced extensive media coverage and with the many adversities, stigmas and stereotypes associated with his past, he had to deal with a system that labeled him a certain failure. Inspired by true events, it is the story of a man given a second chance at life and how he responded to the adversities thrown at him to answer the ultimate question: Is there redemption for such a man?
