After serving six years in prison for auto theft, Rudy Duncan (Ben Affleck) is set to be released. On his last day, he witnesses and participates in a prison riot where his cellmate Nick dies defending him. Upon release, Rudy finds Ashley (Charlize Theron), whom Nick had been corresponding with, waiting for him.
