Plot
The film is about a prisoner awaiting execution. Denver Bayliss ( Kiefer Sutherland) gains an unlikely friend and confidant in Fred Whitmore ( Forest Whitaker), a former cop who is now a prison guard. Whitmore's life is a mess, as he shuts out his wife and cannot relate to his son. As Bayliss's execution draws nearer, Whitmore clashes more and more with Lt.
