With over 90 million records sold during a long, illustrious career, Johnny Cash is one of the most accomplished and influential artists of the 20th century; and one of the most self-destructive. But this isn’t a story of excess. Torn between his faith and the trappings of fame, this is a story of a man at war with himself - tormented by guilt of his brother’s death and driven by an instinct he couldn’t control. It’s a story of a battle that plagues us all; the battle between good and evil, God and the devil, the darkness and the light. This is the story of Johnny Cash’s fight to be the man he always aspired to be.

And what hard life lessons would Willie learn in the end?
