Dark drama about the unlikely friendship formed between prison guard Henry Lesser (Robert Sean Leonard) and inmate Carl Panzram (James Woods). Carl has been locked up for breaking and entering but he boasts of far more savage crimes which he longs to document if only he had access to pens and paper. Henry is captivated by the enigmatic inmate and smuggles the necessary tools in to him, spiriting them away at the end of his shift. Henry finds Carl's memoirs compelling reading but the brutal truth Carl has written and boasted about eventually reveals itself in a shocking attack on a prison officer.
