    Directed by David Rainey

    Angel Cruz, a bike messenger from NYC who has lost his best friend to a religious cult, is awaiting trial for shooting the leader of that cult in the "ass." After the cult leader, Reverend Kim, dies on the operating table, and the charge against Angel changes to murder, Angel is discovered in his cell barely conscious with a bed sheet tied around his neck. He is then transferred to a special twenty-three-hour lockdown wing of protective custody. For one hour a day, Angel experiences daylight from a cage on the Riker's Island Prison roof. His only source of human contact is the lone inmate who is also in protective custody: Lucius Jenkins, a.k.a. "the Black Plague." A sociopathic serial killer awaiting extradition to Florida, Lucius pauses from his furious workouts only to chain smoke and to "save" Angel. Lucius Jenkins has found God, and Angel's life and the course of his trial will be changed forever.
