Jason Aldridge has just
escaped from prison. His plan is to run away with his new
girlfriend, Amanda, and start a fresh ‘crime-free’ life, but she
has other ideas. Using deceit, coercion and her beguiling ways,
she persuades him to commit a series of bank robberies while on
the run. Jason feels his world spiraling out of control, but
finds it difficult to escape the manipulative Amanda and her
crazy, drug-addicted cohort, Randall. When one of the bank
robberies turns sour and Randall tries to shoot a hostage, Jason
realizes he has to make a choice. The police are closing in on
Jason and the organized crime network he’s entangled in. What
first appeared to be a prison break and a single bank robbery
now encompasses money-laundering, drug-trafficking and a police
leak that could jeopardize the whole case. With the help of a
stranger, Jason learns to take responsibility for his actions,
but the consequences are not what he expects.
