It stars Stephen Adly Guirgis and Michael Pitt and is set in an unnamed prison in California.

Randy explains that he is serving 25 years for his third felony after two counts of marijuana possession: spray painting his neighbor's brand new Mercedes-Benz and causing over $5,000 worth of damages.

However, Randy is quickly brought back to the horrible reality of his situation when Jake forces him to wear his shirt in a feminine style and to hold his hand as they go to lunch (See prison sexuality).

Randy tells Jake about his first sexual experience: he was 17 and drunk in a Tijuana strip club, and paid a stripper $35 for oral sex with a condom on in a room above the dance floor.

Again, Jake snaps out of his more tender feelings and, replacing them with cruelty, forces Randy to perform oral sex on him.

Afterward, Jake makes pleasant conversation about their ongoing backgammon game as Randy lies in the fetal position in his bunk.
