Prison life was never easy, but now Rico is torn between his allegiance those who would tear him down, and his dedication to building a new life. The minefields that Rico will now walk aren't just emotional either - should he make the wrong move on the outside chances are good that Rico could suffer physically as well. Thankfully for Rico, a wise apparition named Robert (Kurt Vonnegut) will be there to help guide him and ensure that the conflicted ex-convict finally have the chance to hold his daughter close once again.
