Thirty-eight years ago, Frank Jergens' (Fred Ward) good side showed itself while he was robbing a bank. During the heist, he turned on the dirty cops who were helping him pull it off. After 38 years in the pen, Jergens is released to Mary & Wit Sec, but not before making friends & connections on the inside. Mary is very concerned about Frank's friend, Ray (Brian Goodman), who is indebted to two criminals who are eager to collect. & the more that Mary engages with Frank, the more she is reminded of her father. When Frank's friend Ray shows up at his door in dire straits, Frank must decide whether life on the outside is as good as it's cracked up to be. Meanwhile, Mary gets into trouble with Wit Sec administrators when they find out she's been abusing U.S. Marshal services to track down her sister. Marshall also has his hands full with an ex-writer who is falling apart with her life under protection.
