Gage Stroop and Michael Fishburn are two Montanans that have spent much of their lives in and out of the state justice system. The difference? The former is a 17 year old with the opportunity to turn his life around. Stroop has woven his way through different youth homes around the state and to the state juvenile penitentiary and is soon eligible to be tried as an adult. The latter is a middle aged career criminal with a dark history of meth addiction. Fishburn has been unable to stay out of the state prison system for long, despite having two children, and is filled more with regrets than optimism. Crime is crime no matter the age, but the penalties can be very different.
