The story

The film runs two narratives simultaneously: the preparation for the escape and the escape itself. Frank Perry (Brian Cox) is a lifer and has long accepted that he will never see the outside again. When Perry receives his first letter in fourteen years, informing him that his cherished daughter is a drug addict and near death following an overdose, he starts to think about escaping.
