What happens

Us is a 1991 television movie broadcast on CBS, produced, written and directed by Michael Landon. Landon also starred in the film, along with Barney Martin and Casey Peterson. It was a pilot for what would have been Landon's fourth consecutive television series and his first for a network other than NBC; Landon's death that year precluded its going ahead, but the pilot aired as a posthumous tribute to Landon in September 1991. Landon played Jeff Hayes, a man just released from prison after serving many years due to being wrongfully convicted of killing a wealthy man's wife. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
