## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

You serve hard time in a sun-bleached Florida prison where even the shadows are armed. A fresh inmate starts a war he can’t win but won’t name. A director once called prison movies therapy for the free, this one just leaves you stared down by a quiet man’s last cigarette.

**Mood tags**: bittersweet, outsider, raw
