Monty Brogan sta per essere sbattuto in carcere con l'accusa di spaccio di droga, con una pena da scontare di sette anni. Ciò che gli viene concesso è un periodo di libertà di ventiquattro ore per riflettere sui suoi errori: un periodo interminabile per Monty, in cui ripenserà alle sue scelte sbagliate e tutte le persone a cui ha fatto del male e recato dispiacere. Ma sarà davvero pentito?
