Tamara Jenkins, a federal prison guard, finds herself desperately racing against time and a corrupt prison adminstration as she tries to free her baby's daddy, I.C.Miller, a death row inmate who is about to be executed by lethal injection for a hideous crime he didn't commit. She is torn between two arch rival thugs: the Haitian Kingpin Bleu Baptise and Atlanta's dopeboy Pharaoh Green, in a deadly, deceptive, lustful love triangle in which neither will stop to possess her, even if it means murder.
