Synopsis:
Under dark, cracked ceilings and behind the crimson-rusted bars of a prison waits a man consumed by tragedy: the Barber, a new resident. He is desperate to get answers from his son’s killer, a psychopathic inmate.
Brought into the Barber’s cell for a shave, The Inmate's conniving intellect sets out to uncover why the man has come to the prison. The two plunge into a mind game where cryptic conversation is a shadow for truth. Learning his son’s death was a product of random, meaningless circumstance, the Barber presses a blade to The Inmate's throat with one question on his mind: Can I kill the man who killed my son? All the while, The Inmate has a lesson to teach: some men are predators, some men are prey.
A criminal mastermind makes a bold move against a wealthy client to put himself in a position to retire in comfort. He has no idea what he's up against when a young widow, desperate to make ends meet, sets her eyes on earning the bounty set on his head.
