Paul Edgecomb is a slightly cynical veteran prison guard on Death row in the
1930's. His faith, and sanity, deteriorated by watching men live and die,
Edgecomb is about to have a complete turn around in attitude. Enter John
Coffey, He's eight feet tall. He has hands the size of waffle irons. He's been
accused of the murder of two children... and he's afraid to sleep in a cell
without a night-light. And Edgecomb, as well as the other prison guards -
Brutus, a sympathetic guard, and Percy, a stuck up, perverse, and violent
person, are in for a strange experience that involves intelligent mice, brutal
executions, and the revelation about Coffey's innocence and his true identity.
