Two convicts—one white, one black—escape while chained to each other.
Locked together by a single heavy chain, two escaped convicts must navigate a landscape of mutual suspicion and systemic cruelty. This tense journey strips away racial pretenses to reveal the raw, shared desperation of men running for their lives.
