- Recently paroled after serving a long stretch for his wife's murder, Joey One-Way aligns himself with a producer who has optioned the play he wrote in prison. As he sets about adapting his work for the big screen, Joey falls for his new pal's ex-con wife, and enters into a doomed affair.—Anonymous
- Joe One-Way (Gil Bellows) is serving a life sentence for the passion murder (in a drug fueled rage) of his teenage bride Kimba (Moneca Delain) (the mother of his twin daughters). At the urging of his cellmate Clinique (Shaun Parkes), he composes the play White Man: Black Hole about his crime. Joe had been incarcerated 18 years, before Hollywood agent Markie Mark (Esai Morales), who wishes to make a film of the play, arranges that Joe gets an early release from prison. Joe has to check with his parole officer regularly as part of his early release agreement.
Wanting to create a great deal of media buzz, he brings Joe into his office to rewrite the stage play into a movie in order to give it greater audience appeal. Serena (Jane Peachey) is Markie's secretary. At an office party, Markie lines up a few investors who are ready to fund Joe's new movie. Women throw themselves at Joe, but he pushes them away. Nicky Roman (Viv Weatherall) is lined up to play lead actor in the movie. There, Joe meets Fleur (Lisa Ray), Markie's arm candy. Fleur takes Joe home. Markie sends Sasha (Saskia Troccoli) to "service" Joe.
Markie gives a brand-new apartment to Joe to stay in, but he still sleeps in a public hostel, which seems more like prison. Joe reaches out to Kimba's mother Birdie (Dona Croll) and begs her for the address of the girls. Birdie says that the girls are grown women now and they can make up their own mind on whether they want to meet Joe. Markie wants to change the name of the play to "Juice this". Joe hates it. He tells Joe to work on a few scenes and asks him to take Fleur with him.
Learning Fleur had been a fan of his for some time, the two begin a torrid affair. Joe tells Fleur about how he cut an inmate's balls when he came to sexually assault him in prison. Clinique guided Joe to kill the inmate to prevent future counterattacks. Fluer was in French prison too. She was imprisoned for cutting a guy, who was trying to make her have sex with his dog. Her journal from prison became a bestseller. Then she met Markie in NY. Fleur proposes to be Markie's lover. They go to a motel, and Joe fingers her on the way. They have sex. Joe tells her how he met Kimba, when she was a model. They had sex and she got pregnant. They got married and in time Kimba gave birth to twins.
Joe tells her about prison. Clinique was his cellmate. He was a poet and a bad one at that. Clinique knew Joe was college educated and encourages him to write a play and not waste his time in the joint. Joe and Clinique share a gay relationship inside the prison. Joe and Fleur have sex in every position imaginable. Joe is afraid that Markie suspects something between him and Fleur.
Eventually, his daughters call him for a meeting. Joe goes to their apartment, but can't go in, as in his mind they are still 4yrs old and that's how he wants it to be. Joe then searches for a way to reconcile the crime for which he had never forgiven himself. Kimba was feeling suffocated with the kids, especially when Joe was out on his drug binges for days on end. She started beating Joe when he came home, eventually. To her, Joe being a junkie was adultery and she wanted even. Joe finds from her diary that Kimba was having sex with a man named Jarvis (Stephen Lord). Joe catches her in the act and slashes her.
In the end Fleur breaks up with Joe to spend time with her daughter. Joe goes back to doing drugs. Fleur had listened to Joe talking about how he misses his twins and decided that she wanted to spend as much with her own daughter, as was possible. Markies finds out and Joe and Fleur's affair, confronts Joe & steals a knife with Joe's fingerprints on it. Markies kills Fleur with it (he hires Jarvis to kill Fleur. Unknown to Joe, Jarvis was the keeper of the hostel where he slept every night) & pins it on Joe who again goes to Jail.
