Inside a cramped cell with six days left, a father and others frantically try to dig an escape tunnel while complaining the tool "can't even scrape the wall." Their plan collapses when Dave, a feared mob inmate, returns; fellow prisoners warn that "he'll either snitch or kill us both" if he learns about the escape. A newcomer, Edward, meets Dave, admits stealing and asks, "Not afraid of death?" He then confirms, "We're planning to use it to break out." With Dave watching, the group must gamble on Edward's boldness as exposure looms.
