As a controversial prison reform bill is making its way through the Texas state senate, an aide takes it upon herself to blackmail a senator, ensuring the bill’s passage. While all of this is happening, the L’Estrange family is living through the very real consequences of the prison system. The elder brother Alex is starting a two-year sentence, he becomes acquainted with a magical voice that refers to itself only as “the Narrator”. The lives of this family and the dirty politics of the state capitol come crashing together when one senator pays to have another killed.
