Storyline

Joe has been sentenced to 40 years for armed robbery on an armored truck and now does his time in the infamous prison of Alcatraz. Since the heist’s loot is still out there, he’s eager to escape ‘The Rock’. Staying imprisoned is not an option. His morally flexible wife Christine could help him to get off the island. She has problems of her own, though. Greedy thugs, dogged snoops and cruel criminals breathe down the couple’s neck. It seems like the whole city is after them and the loot.
