On October 3rd, 1929, a violent uprising erupts at Canon City Prison in Colorado when the ruthless convict Danny Daniels seizes control, taking guards hostage and demanding getaway cars.

What unfolds is a gripping portrait of a career criminal faced with the weight of his own conscience—and a reckoning he can no longer escape.

Felix Sloper is a hood riding high on Lady Luck, pulling jobs across the West Coast with charm and ruthlessness in equal measure—until a waitress at a Hollywood diner catches his eye and turns his world upside down.
