Synopsis
It was a humid, dark night. Sweat rolled down the faces of several men. The Super Bowl Champions, New England Patriots, found themselves in a dark situation. With 5 seconds left on the clock, they were losing. Tom Brady had one person in mind: his Pro Bowl tight-end from Bristol, Connecticut, Aaron Hernandez. 5 - 4 - 3, the ball left Brady's hand. 2 - 1- Guilty of first degree murder. This is the story of a man charged or linked to a multitude of heinous crimes-one which left three victims gruesomely murdered-while hiding behind his NFL helmet and shoulder pads. He lived the American Dream; was a poster child and the most celebrated son in the history of Bristol. So the question remains: How did a kid, who was so rich in gifts and honors, and was one of the top five tight-ends in the country, grow into such a murderously angry man? Was it because he had CTE (Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy) and was never tested in time? And why does Bristol, the town that time forgot, keep landing in the middle of his lurid story? This is a page-turning thriller which is detailed with facts surrounding a kid from Bristol who became the killer we invited into our homes every Sunday. Touchdown - game over.
