"Gripping... a film that deserves attention" -Total Film
In this gritty prison drama, Edward Furlong plays Ron Decker, a handsome, athletic 25-year-old and the product of a comfortable Beverly Hills upbringing. He has been sentenced to spend at least two years of a ten-year gaol term in San Quentin Prison for drug dealing.
Earl Copen (Willem Dafoe) is a career criminal serving a 25-year sentence, with the whole prison in his pocket and a connection to all the guards and official; nothing happens in San Quentin without Copen's sanction. He takes a liking to Ron and arranges for him to have an easy job assisting the prison education officer. But just when life inside is looking easier, Ron's increased confidence turns violent, leaving himself and Earl facing some tough choices if they are to survive.
