About
Set in the rural South, John "Joker" Jackson and Noah Cullen, men of different color, are convicts on a chain gang who escape after the truck they are riding in crashes. Chained together at the wrists, they must constantly outwit and outrun the armed posse and bloodhounds in hot pursuit. Their biggest obstacle, however, is their mutual hatred and distrust for each other. When the chains are finally broken, they discover that the artificial barriers separating them have also vanished.
