It’s the 21st of December. Stuck in prison serving an 18-month sentence, Joe Morris is on the edge. He can’t seem to avoid clashing with the other inmates, and now his release date is on the line as he risks losing the family he so desperately wishes to return to. More than ever, he needs to keep his head down and stay out of trouble. Joe is thrown a lifeline when he meets Noel, a veteran lifer who leads the prison kitchen. The fraternity he finds in the kitchen nourishes Joe into a new understanding of the events which put him behind bars.
