What is the plot of True Story?

After a night out with his brother Carlton, played by Wesley Snipes, Kid wakes up to find detectives knocking on his door.

It soon becomes apparent he is a suspect in a murder case, which is threatening to destroy everything he has worked for.

Over the series he will have to make a lot of morally complicated decisions in order to try and save his career and reputation.
