Final Appeal is an effort to make the public aware of the fact that not all legal convictions are correct and sometimes people get convicted for crimes they have not committed. The show aims at bringing justice to those convicts who are innocent and gives them an opportunity to share their version of the story and defend themselves. The show is anchored by Brian Banks, who was an aspiring football player nurturing an NFL dream. He aimed big and wanted to be a star football player, but his dreams were abruptly snatched away from him after he was wrongfully convicted in a rape case. He was punished for an offence that he had not committed and had to face five years imprisonment that toppled his life. It took almost a decade to come out of the case completely.
Brian Banks along with Loni Coombs, a veteran legal prosecutor will try to help innocent convicts by investigating their cases all over again in front of the camera with both the defendant and the prosecutors explaining their stands.
