This is the story of Reginald Blanton, death row inmate, and his British fiancee Sandie.
Sandie, 45, was diagnosed with cancer at age 4 and not declared cancer free until age 27. She is the single mother of two children and believes everyone deserves to be treated as if they matter, no matter who they are. She thinks it's important for death row prisoners to have friends
Reginald is 28. He has been on death row in Texas, in the United States, since age 18, for murdering a man during a robbery. He has maintained his innocence for the entirety of his imprisonment.
Although Sandie travels to the United States to visit Reginald, most of their relationship is conducted through written correspondence. As the episode starts we learn Reginald and Sandie have only shared four previous in-person visits. They have never been allowed a visit where they touch. They can only see each other through glass and speak using the phone in the visiting cubicles.
Sandie and Reginald's mother have developed their own close relationship during the time Reginald and Sandie have been together.
Sandie believes Reginald is innocent of the crime he has been jailed for. His family does as well. Although he is on death row, they are all hoping for a reversal of his sentence.
Sandie and Reginald are hoping to marry but Sandie is still married, to another inmate. Will her divorce come through in time to marry Reginald? Will Reginald's appeal be granted? Will he be granted a stay of execution and be able to marry Sandie?
