Beyoncé Knowles, 34 years old, mother of 5, moves back to her hometown, Houston, Texas, to be closer to family, and to take the job as a teacher at the United States Penitentiary in Beaumont, Texas. During her time working at the prison she meets, Jay, a criminal. It's hard for Beyoncé to resist him when she knows he's a good man, and simply misunderstood. "I have nothing to explain. As for being misunderstood, I have grown accustomed to that."
