Condemned and awaiting execution, Whit reflects on the events that led him to San Quentin's Death Row, a story he shared in his best-selling autobiography. As a boy, he stole groceries to feed his impoverished family, later committing major crimes to impress a gang moll.

In his cell, he studies law, earning stays of execution twice, just minutes before his scheduled death.
