synopsis
Director Chris Wroubel and screenwriter Gary Lane draw inspiration from a real life drug trafficking case to examine how the penal system transforms non-violent criminals into hardened convicts and likely repeat offenders. Sentenced to a stint in San Quentin after being double crossed by his criminal cohorts, young drug dealer Vincent Valentine transforms into a dangerous outlaw behind bars. By the time he gets out, he's a menace to society with a bad attitude, and nothing to lose.
