The story

Joe Braxton is a convict who violates his parole after a failed attempt to lift a bunch of televisions from a store in Philadelphia. After a dramatic attempt at reverse psychology with the judge, he is given a second chance at parole, and his parole-officer, Donald, has him do something for him. Donald is also involved with school teacher Vivian Perry, whose school was just closed down by the city due to budget cuts.
