What is Waiting For The Out about (plot, summary)

Dan, a philosopher, begins teaching a class of men in prison. Each week, Dan leads discussions about dominance, freedom, luck and other topics that have troubled philosophers for thousands of years – topics that gain a new meaning when seen through the prisoners' eyes - both igniting passions and creating tension.

Through his work, Dan begins to dig deeper into his own past – growing up with a violent father who ended up in prison, as did his brother Lee and uncle Frank. Dan took a different path, but his time working in a prison begins to make him worry, obsessively, that he belongs behind bars just like his father. As Dan's personal crisis deepens, his actions begin to threaten both his own future, and his family's.
