Meet former journalist and perpetual liar Frank Corso. He resembles Stephen Segal as a big man with a black ponytail. Meet Leanne Samples, another liar; only her lies occured under oath as a witness in a death row case. Together, with the fellow outcast and heavily tattooed photographer Meg Dougherty, they try to prove the innocence of a criminal on death row. What a bizarre group of characters.

He was convicted of murdering eight women based on the testimony of one woman who survived...you guessed it, liar Leanne Samples. Fury is a hour by hour, play by play of the unfolding drama.
