In February 1997 13-year-old East Sussex schoolgirl Billie-Jo Jenkins was beaten to death in her back garden. Her foster father, Sion Jenkins, was convicted of murdering her. However, he was subsequently retried twice; with no verdict having been served, he was acquitted, and is currently free. The case remains unsolved. In this film Anoop Pandhals follows Sion Jenkins over four months as he prepares to tell his side of the story of his foster's daughter's murder.
