It’s infinitely harder to win back the lost love and trust of one’s children than it is to win back legal custody.

^ Agree pretty much with dpg’s iteration of the logline and his suggestion … but I’d say that “struggle to reconcile” doesn’t feel particularly compelling to me. I like the concept of fighting for custody of them … simply because I can visualise how that ends, for good or bad. I find it really hard to envision “reconciliation” as a cinematic goal … unless he’s physically a long way from them and the story is his journey to find them.

When a man is exonerated from his wife’s murder and released from prison, he must struggle to reconcile with his children who have bonded with their foster parents.
(In the logline, there needs to be a causal relationship between the wife’s death and the man’s incarceration. If there is no such relationship then her death is merely backstory in the plot and extraneous to the logline.)
