SYNOPSIS:

At Bolsom prison, just outside Los Angeles, Ca., two male prisoners, TOMMY and LEN, who because of their circumstances, and the environment they're in, have long since become jailhouse lovers. Then after about three years in jail for both of them, Tommy is getting released back to the world. But before that day finally arrives, they both make a pact with each other, that when they're both free, they will reunite as lovers forever. But within the six months after Tommy's release, he's had a change of heart, and deceivingly doesn't inform Len that he has broken their pact by falling in love with, and wants to marry a woman on the job where he works, thus going back to living the heterosexual life he had before he went to prison. There's one major problem though. Up until Len gets released, which will be coming up soon, Tommy continues to mislead him about his feelings for him, via letters and phone calls. So now because he deceived and broke his word with one very unstable and vicious soon to be released ex cell-mate, Tommy and his soon to be wife SHEILA, will end up the victims of a frightening fatal attraction, once Len walks out of prison, and comes looking for him to pick up exactly where they left off with their jailhouse relationship. Then as an added dimension to his deception, once Len shows up on his doorstep, Tommy will go through lots of stress to keep his past, and Len a secret from his fiancee, as the revengeful Len deals with his lost. Now an infuriated, volatile ex-con, decides to stalk Tommy to no end at first, to get back what he considers his, and his alone. And to make his pursuit much more effective, he manages to get himself hired where Tommy works, in spite of the fact that he himself has an attempted murder conviction. But regardless of whatever happens, Tommy's able to keep his fiancee's identity a secret from Len so that he doesn't know which female on the job is the woman he's going to marry. As an added twist, what Tommy doesn't know is, once Sheila gets her first glance of Len, she shockingly recognizes him as the guy who a long time ago, tied her up in an abandoned shanty house, as she was forced to watch her boyfriend at the time, being raped by Len. Now Sheila too has a painful secret past to conceal as Len's pursuit of Tommy and vicariously her, turns from a love lost, to homicidal revenge.
