Kevin Spacey's life changed forever when he received an email from a journalist in October 2017. The email alleged he sexually abused a 14-year-old fellow actor back in 1986.

The blowback destroyed his reputation and career. But then salvation comes from an unlikely source. Could Kevin Spacey be saved by a dream?
