Summaries

The difficulties of a career burglar to reinsert himself after being released on parole.

After 6 years in prison, career criminal Max Dembo is released on parole. He wants to go straight, but doesn't like the restrictions of parole, much to his parole officer Earl Frank's chagrin. Some conditions--living in a halfway house, not associating with past friends and associates, no driving, and no drugs--could be more difficult than he imagines especially as his encounters with Earl become increasingly tense. Max deals with Earl the same way he deals with everything: his way or no way. Through his life in the outside world, he embarks on a relationship with Jenny Mercer, an employment-agency clerk he meets while looking for a job. Jenny knows about his past criminal history, but he ends up only telling her so much of his current life if only to protect her, just in case.—Huggo

After a six-year stint for armed robbery, lifelong Los Angeles thief Max Dembo leaves prison. As the career criminal reunites with old friends and struggles to convince his passive-aggressive parole officer Earl that he poses no threat to society, one short week separates Max from a fresh start. At last, after spending a lifetime of violence and crime, Max seems ready to go straight, get a job, and, why not, settle down. But sometimes the paradox of choice can be too much, and all it takes is one little slip-up to go back to square one, and then there is no place to go but down. In the end, is it scarier to be on the outside?—Nick Riganas
