The tale of three criminals with two felony convictions apiece and no more chances. Under California's 'Three Strikes' law, one more conviction carries a mandatory life sentence with no prospect of remission. But a law intended to deter career criminals has the opposite effect on these three. Combined they have spent a lifetime behind bars and have no idea, or intention, of leading a straight life under rules set by a system they have never belonged to. Starring Nicholas Cage and Willem Dafoe.
