From Academy Award winning director Sidney Lumet comes this tense, twisting thriller that asks the simple question... 'How far would you go to get out?'

Cat is up for parole. His violent temper means that a fight 7 years ago left a man dead and Cat behind bars. With Ashley Duke, his slick, ivy-league counsellor helping him to confront his demons he is optimistic about his chances of finally leaving the daily hell that is prison.

However, when Cat blows his shot at parole after a violent clash with a gang of inmates, Ashley suggests another way out; a simple exchange. If Cat agrees to kill Ashley's wife, Valerie, he will guarantee him freedom.

Torn by his conscience but tempted by this apparently easy way out, Cat agrees, setting into motion a taught game of double crossing and betrayal that builds towards a shattering climax. For Cat could never have predicted how beautiful and persuasive his new target would be, and soon he is entangled with this dangerous femme fatale contemplating an even deadlier plot...
