BARRED explores the complexities of a life inside through two very different cell mates. Danny arrived in prison a violent man, a product of his upbringing. 8 years on, he wants to change and rehabilitate through art and education. Aspirations to make amends and become a poet are laughable to his cell mate, Ali, a convicted drug dealer who wants to do his sentence the hard way. Time’s running out for one of them...

Imprisoned in the 1940s for the double murder of his wife and her lover, upstanding banker Andy Dufresne begins a new life at the Shawshank prison, where he puts his accounting skills to work for an amoral warden. During his long stretch in prison, Dufresne comes to be admired by the other inmates -- including an older prisoner named Red -- for his integrity and unquenchable sense of hope.

While participating in a rehabilitation program training wild mustangs, a convict at first struggles to connect with the horses and his fellow inmates, but he learns to confront his violent past as he soothes an especially feisty horse.
