It's about a prison hospice in which inmates work as volunteers. Some of the volunteers have committed murder themselves and most have lost friends because of violence. The experience of helping their fellow inmates as they are dying changes the way they view death. Through this model, inmates have companionship during their last days, and those who are caring for them have a potentially rehabilitative experience.
