A man imprisoned for twenty years in a private cell with only a television for company is suddenly released and hunts for his captor, uncovering a trail of high school secrets, a decades-old suicide, and an incestuous sibling relationship destroyed by his own careless teenage rumor—only to discover his young lover is the daughter he hasn't seen since infancy, and that the architect of his suffering has designed every step of his revenge to make him feel the same forbidden love and loss he once inflicted.
