Magpie is a parolee surveillance officer who keeps her eyes on the boy in the basement, Reggie, who's been convicted of sexual assault and murder. Reggie's cute, Magpie's fat, and they both want out. Reggie tries to get Magpie at her own game, food, until he finds himself dying to break bread with a woman who wants revenge.
