Inside a Manhattan jail reserved for alimony delinquents, a revolving group of estranged spouses, hustling lawyers, and weary officials trade barbs, strategies, and second thoughts. Schemes to dodge payments collide with unexpected reckonings about love, responsibility, and pride. As alliances shift and tempers flare, the inmates weigh quick fixes against real change, discovering that freedom—legal and emotional—demands more than a clever angle.
