Zoe has always believed that when something frightens her, it’s worth pursuing. So when a client offers her a job teaching Shiatsu at a high-security men’s prison, she says yes.
Each week, Zoe enters a classroom alone with a group of men she has been warned to fear. She connects with her students, bends the rules, and gradually finds herself more at ease with the prisoners than with the guards, her clients, and even her friends. What begins as an unlikely job evolves into a deeply human story of love, grief, and defiance. In this place known for violence and fear, the men offer Zoe something she has rarely known: respect.
