During a sudden prison lockdown, a group of incarcerated men confront the emotional weight of confinement and discover that solidarity and human connection may be the only way through the darkness.

This intimate verité documentary follows D. Nelson — a devoted father, husband, and leader 16 years into a 40-year prison sentence — as he finds freedom and redemption with a small family of filmmakers and incarcerated men producing an unprecedented short film project inside the Washington State Penitentiary's media lab, and bonds with a young intern learning to forgive her formerly incarcerated mother.

After retiring from the police force, a relentless detective haunted by the tragic loss of his closest friend sets out on a perilous quest for vengeance, seeking redemption and fighting to restore justice to the streets he once swore to protect.
