Bernard Baran was the first person convicted in the day care sex abuse hysteria of the 1980s and 1990s in the United States.The film uses interviews and court documents to show the consequences of homophobia and political ambition. Homophobia played such a significant role in the Baran case that the judge freeing him two decades later equated it with the other dominant aspects of day care panic cases: hysteria and suggestion.
