arred revenge comedy helmed by BOB ODENKIRK, the director who brought sketchcomedy<br />
fans Mr. Show With Bob and David. And he’s about to give us everything that’s<br />
been missing from the typical prison movie in his fresh, probing look at our penal<br />
system—rife with plenty of sweet, cloistered, man love.<br />
Felon John Lyshitski (DAX SHEPARD, Punk’d, Employee of the Month, Without<br />
a Paddle) has figured out the best way to get revenge on the now-dead judge who sent<br />
him to jail: “help” the official’s obnoxious son, Nelson Biederman the IV th (WILL<br />
ARNETT, Arrested Development, RV, Blades of Glory), try to survive the clink.<br />
John strikes gold when Nelson is wrongly convicted of a crime and sent to the<br />
same penitentiary he used to call home. He gleefully sells pot to undercover cops and<br />
gets sent back to become Nelson’s cellmate, ensuring that his new buddy gets the full<br />
treatment common in American penitentiaries. Let the games begin.<br />
Lesson #1: The joint’s a scary place, so you better make friends fast. Right away,<br />
Nelson offends the wrong cons and is sold—by John—to Barry (CHI McBRIDE, The<br />
Nine, The Terminal, Undercover Brother) for prison snuggling. But the moment that<br />
revenge starts tasting sweet, Nelson becomes Big Man in the Big House and turns the<br />
tables on John…changing the rules of his insane game.<br />
