Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Nick and Rudy are cellmates in prison. Nick has been corresponding with a young woman named Ashley Mercer, who is waiting for him on the outside. But when Nick is "killed" during a prison uprising, Rudy takes his place and lets the beautiful Ashley think he's the one who has been writing her the love letters. Before long, Rudy discovers that pretending to be Nick was not such a good idea after all, as some fellow criminals intend to use him for their own purposes - robbing a casino that Nick used to work at. The film takes a series of twists and turns as Rudy discovers that he has been duped numerous times and that Nick is alive.
