Successful businessman Jacob Harlon is transformed into Money, a stoic, ruthless prison gangster, after a DUI sends him down a rabbit hole in the American prison system.

As he navigates the brutality of his new home, adapting to its violent codes of ethics and rites of passage that will ensure his survival, he slowly loses his previous identity and his relationship to his former life, including its inhabitants, his wife and son.

Upon his release, with law enforcement on his tail and threatened by his incarcerated ‘protectors’, Money must orchestrate one last dangerous crime.
