Three inmates band together to plot a desperate escape. A gang leader doesn't want to miss his estranged daughter's wedding; a small-time hood with a good heart must donate an organ to save his dying mother; an altruistic executive who was framed by his partner strives to set the record straight. In classic prison-movie fashion, their plan is complicated by the corrupt administration, as well as by infighting among the penitentiary's various criminal factions. This gritty thriller is rife with pathos, hard-boiled action, and pulp comic-book style to spare, and will have you rooting for the motley trio of underdogs.
