Product Description:

Recovering from a broken marriage, a beautiful prison dentist succumbs to the advances of a charming patient, launching an ill-advised love affair. Able to see each other once a week while he's on a day pass, the relationship ultimately turns dangerous when fellow prisoners coerce them into aiding their drug-dealing. Inspired by a true story.

Plot Synopsis:

Rachel, a part-time dentist in a prison, falls in love with the convict Philip. Their sexual affair flourishes when he receives a day-release once a week for university courses. In between his classes, Rachel and Philip explore their passion. When another prisoner, Towler, espies the two lovebirds, he threatens to have Rachel raped by one of his henchmen if she doesn't bring him a package of drugs. However, by the time Rachel and Philip realize that it's not drugs she's bringing into the joint, but a gun for Towler, it may be too late... especially since Towler's thugs are already trailing Rachel.
