[SLO]

Ljubeči družinski oče in uspešni poslovnež Jacob je nepričakovano obsojen na zaporno kazen, potem ko je pijan prevozil rdečo luč in povzročil prometno nesrečo, v kateri je med drugim umrl njegov prijatelj in sodelavec. Življenje v kaznilnici je neizprosno: samemu se ti ne piše nič dobrega, pridružiti se moraš eni izmed tamkajšnjih tolp (ločenih po kulturni in rasni pripadnosti), te pa v zameno za varovanje zahtevajo izpolnitev določenih nalog. Lojalnost bratom te sčasoma povzdigne po jetniški hierarhiji (ki jo navzven izkazujejo predpisane tetovaže), vendar so obveznosti čedalje težje in bolj tvegane: če kruti napad ali umor sojetnika iz nasprotne tolpe zabeleži katera od nadzornih kamer in kaznivemu dejanju nedvoumno pripišejo tvoj obraz, ti to v najboljšem primeru naloži nekaj let podaljšane kazni — in prostost se z možnostmi preživetja med štirimi zidovi v resnici vse bolj odmika. Tako se iz moža z upanjem na hitro prestano pokoro in vnovičnim snidenjem z ljubljeno družino postopoma in neizbežno spreminjaš v okorelega, surovega, brezvestnega kaznjenca, ki sčasoma pozabi na nekoč tako cenjene vrednote in ideale. -Filmoljub

SHOT CALLER follows the harrowing, often heart-rending journey of successful businessman Jacob Harlon (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) who is transformed into Money, a stoic, ruthless prison gangster after a DUI sends him down the rabbit hole of the American prison system. As he navigates the brutality of his new home, adapting to its violent codes of ethics and rites of passage that will ensure his survival, he slowly loses his previous identity and his relationship to his former life, including his wife and son. The grip of his new family, the prison gang, extends beyond the prison walls. Upon his release, chased by the law enforcement, threatened by his incarcerated "protectors," Money must orchestrate one last dangerous crime. All is not what it seems. The ruthless process of fulfilling his obligations also becomes his path to sacrifice, retribution and self-definition.
