Plot:
Bill Baker (Matt Damon), an oil worker in Stillwater, Oklahoma, learns that his estranged daughter Allison (Abigail Breslin), while studying for a year in Marseille, has been falsely arrested pending trial and charged with murdering her friend and partner Lina. He travels there to visit her in prison and discovers that she has all but exhausted her legal options. He moves permanently to France and struggles to clear her name, contending with the language barrier, cultural differences, and a complex and unfamiliar legal system based on the French penal code. He is aided by a French woman, Virginie (Cottin), and her eight-year-old daughter Maya. As the pressure mounts, he must decide just how far he's willing to go.
