Joe, sentenced to 40 years for an armored car heist, is hell-bent on escaping The Rock. He'll need help on the outside from his wife Christine, but she's got troubles of her own. Their gangster pal Mickey has threatened her with death unless she gives him the loot. But where's the loot? Joe kept his mouth shut and now everyone in North Beach is searching for the jackpot.
No one's escaped Alcatraz, and no one's outsmarted Mickey. Can our hero and heroine get the money and vanish? As one bad turns follows another -- including drug-dealing, blackmail, suicide and murder, can they keep their marriage intact?
It's up to the player how the story ends.
