In 1923, Ernest Hemingway, struggling with the responsibilities of marriage and unexpected fatherhood, has just made a big mistake. He decided he would interrupt his fledgling writing career and move his family to North America. On his first day, he's sent to cover a prison break at Kingston Pen. The escaped convicts, led by notorious bank robber Norman "Red" Ryan, are on the run. Their crimes become more brazen, their lifestyle increasingly glamorous. Growing more preoccupied with Ryan and his willingness to risk everything to be free, Hemingway ponders duty, freedom, and what stops a man from pursuing his dreams.
