He who dares to be the fool will become the wise man. Brendon had heard that quote from his best friend a plethora of times, a sly justification for foolish regrettable actions back in their heyday. He wondered if there was any truth to it...
Incarcerated for manslaughter, the only damning nail in his coffin was his own admission of guilt. Considered foolish and downright stupid by all who know, Brendon was content with his sentence.
Best friends since childhood, Greg, after a self-imposed exile that would prove to be trivial, seeks Brendon out in prison. After apologies from both sides, Greg makes Brendon a promise.
A short reunion.
Bittersweet for both men.
As Brendon deals with the obsession of a prolific child killer in prison, Greg pursues other avenues. A strong sense of obligation and loyalty causes Greg to break his promise, and ultimately destroy the reconciled friendship permanently.
With two innocent lives left in their wake, both men must stick together for the sake of acquiring new identities before renouncing their lifelong friendship and going their separate ways.
