This five-part program looks at the case of Greg Kelley, a high school football star who was convicted of child molestation, and the quest for truth and justice that followed after his sentencing.

Also arriving this month is the season finale of Black Monday, which airs July 19. The last few episodes of the comedy-drama starring Don Cheadle and Regina Hall sees two key characters at odds over a potential opportunity while another finds themselves involved in a risky proposition.
