Murder. With aII the picturesque glamour of the 1940s, The Pardon recounts the unIikeIy true story of Toni Jo Henry (Jaime King), a woman tried three times and executed in Louisiana, 1942.
Surviving a legacy of chiIdhood abuse, which Iands her in the art deco brothels of the time, Toni Jo briefIy discovers Iove and happiness when she marries the dashing boxer Cowboy Henry (Jason Lewis). Cowboy is soon after sent to prison, leaving the bereft Toni Jo to embark on an ill-fated mission with Cowboy s sometime partner Arkie (John Hawkes). A grisIy murder and a series of sensationaI trials, where she pleads her innocence, instantly makes the beautiful Toni Jo into a ceIebrity. Facing conviction after conviction, wiIl she find true redemption in the face of the crimes for which she is accused?
