BLACK BIRD: SEASON ONE 3-DISC SET FYC (FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION)
As Jimmy Keene begins a 10-year prison sentence, he receives an extraordinary and potentially life-changing offer: if he can successfully elicit a confession from the suspected serial killer Larry Hall, he will be granted freedom. This high-stakes mission becomes the challenge of a lifetime, pushing Jimmy to his physical, mental, and emotional limits.
Based on the gripping true story documented in In with the Devil: A Fallen Hero, a Serial Killer, and a Dangerous Bargain for Redemption by James Keene and Hillel Levin, the series delves deep into themes of justice, redemption, and morality.
The Premise and Characters
The series centers on Jimmy Keene, a bright and determined young man whose promising future is derailed by a troubled past. Sentenced to prison, Jimmy is offered a second chance through a secretive deal by federal authorities. His target is Larry Hall, one of the most notorious and inscrutable serial killers held within the prison system. The interaction between these two men—one seeking freedom and the other harboring dark secrets—forms the core tension of the story.
The Psychological Battle
A significant aspect of the narrative focuses on the psychological interplay between Jimmy and Larry. The task is not simply about extracting a confession but also about understanding the mind of a killer known for his manipulative and elusive nature. Jimmy must use intellect, empathy, and cunning to break through Larry's walls while navigating the dangerous prison environment armed with hidden threats and shifting alliances.
The Setting and Atmosphere
Much of the drama unfolds within the confines of a maximum-security prison, heightening the suspense and claustrophobia of the narrative. The series effectively portrays the harsh realities of prison life, including the power dynamics among inmates, threats from gang affiliates, and the psychological toll incarceration takes on individuals. This vivid backdrop adds layers of tension and realism to Jimmy’s perilous mission.
Themes Explored
Redemption: Jimmy’s journey is as much about seeking redemption for his own past mistakes as it is about bringing a killer to justice.
Truth and Deception: The series explores how truth can be obscured by lies, manipulation, and fear, making the search for a confession more complex than it appears.
Morality and Justice: The story questions the boundaries of morality and the cost of justice, especially when one must enter the darkest corners of human nature to achieve it.
Trust and Betrayal: In a prison setting where any relationship can be a threat, trust becomes a rare and fragile commodity.
About the Source Material
The source book, In with the Devil, provides a firsthand account from James Keene himself, offering raw and detailed insight into his real-life experiences with the case. Co-author Hillel Levin, a seasoned investigative journalist, helps frame the personal story within the larger context of criminal justice and law enforcement challenges.
This behind-the-scenes look at a daring and unconventional law enforcement operation offers viewers and readers alike a profound understanding of the complexities involved when personal sacrifice intersects with the pursuit of justice.

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
