synopsis:
Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson executive produces this fictional serialized legal and family drama.

FOR LIFE, inspired by the life of Isaac Wright, Jr., is about prisoner Aaron Wallace (Nicholas Pinnock), who becomes a lawyer, litigating cases for other inmates while fighting to overturn his own life sentence for a crime he didn't commit. His quest for freedom is driven by his desperate desire to get back to the family he loves -- his ex-wife (Joy Bryant) and daughter (Tyla Harris) -- and reclaim the life that was stolen from him.

FOR LIFE will also, through the window of his ferocious struggle and his complicated relationship with a progressive female prison warden (Indira Varma), examine the flaws and challenges in our penal and legal systems.
