Based on a true story, this gripping drama follows Jamesy Burns (Spencer Lofranco), a troubled teenager from a broken home whose life of petty crime escalates into a violent act, landing him in a maximum-security prison. Surrounded by hardened criminals, Jamesy is a scared young man in a brutal world, but he finds an unlikely mentor in a charismatic and wise lifer named Conrad (Ving Rhames), who teaches him the harsh codes of survival and the possibility of redemption. Torn between the pull of his old life, represented by his devoted mother (Mary-Louise Parker) and a new romantic interest (Taissa Farmiga), and the daunting path of reform, Jamesy must confront his own violent nature. Directed by Trevor White, the film is a raw and unflinching exploration of second chances, featuring a powerful supporting performance from James Woods as the prison warden. It is a tense and emotional journey that asks whether a young man can truly change his destiny when the streets and the system are both stacked against him.
