In a Virginia jail, a group of inmates find their voice through music, thanks to a chance encounter with Todd "Speech" Thomas, a member of the iconic hip-hop group Arrested Development. Over the course of 10 days, Speech works with the prisoners to help them write and record their own songs, offering a glimmer of hope and redemption behind bars. Through this unique rehabilitation program, the inmates find a way to express themselves and connect with the world outside, using music as a powerful tool for transformation.
