Mark Cobden je tek zatvoren, izjeda ga krivnja zbog počinjenog zločina i uopšte se ne snalazi u nestabilnom svijetu zatvorskog života. Upoznaje Erica McNallyja, izvrsnog zatvorskog stražara koji daje sve od sebe da zaštiti one za koje je zadužen. Međutim, kada jedan od najopasnijih zatvorenika otkrije njegovu slabost, Eric se suočava s nemogućim izborom između svojih principa i ljubavi prema svojoj porodici.

A series of interconnected phone conversations chronicling the mysterious story of a group of strangers whose lives are thrown into disarray in the lead-up to an apocalyptic event.

It's an iconic line in any crime story: when a suspect is arrested and gets to make one call. In reality, once a person enters the criminal justice system, there are multiple opportunities to make calls while awaiting trial. The vast majority of those calls are recorded. An admission, a threat, a slip of the tongue, a bribe -- it's all on tape and the suspect knows it, but this doesn't always prevent people from talking and talking. Jailhouse phone calls are used to frame the narrative of murder investigations steeped in mystery.

Hit hard by the Lehman shock, a well-meaning young man joins a phone scam operation and gets increasingly embroiled in the underworld.
