Plot Summary:
Trapped with a long-term prison sentence in a Pennsylvania state penitentiary, 21-year-old Ron Decker (Furlong) feels like a terrified fish-out-of-water. His cellmate, Jan the Actress (Rourke), is a cross-dresser who won't stop talking. Enter Earl Copen (Dafoe), an aging convict who has been in prison so long that he runs the show. Earl takes Ron under his wing, and a strange and intense relationship develops between them. However, the relationship offers Ron the protection he needs and gives Earl the feeling that he is a father figure. After Ron's appeal is denied, ensuring his place in the penitentiary for five more years, Earl thinks up a dangerous plan of escape that will either set them free or cost them their lives in the process.
