Exploring the transformative power of literature, a literature professor engages with a group of convicts in a Maryland prison through a book club focused on ten challenging classics. Assigning works that delve into themes of isolation, conflict, and transgression, she discovers fresh perspectives as the inmates confront their own lives through these texts. The discussions, while centered on literature, become profound explorations of human experience, revealing the stakes involved for the participants as they navigate their personal struggles.
