Penitentiary Pacific

the long version

Penitentiary Pacific is a story about two young men, who, due to a quest for vengeance on the part of drug chief Alverez Zsapata Jr., become inmates at a sub-aqueous, subterranean prison where their strength and courage are repeatedly tested. Upon learning of his wife’s infidelity, Zsapata employs two police officers in an operation to frame Rolando Reynolds, a college student who cannot seem to stay away from relationships with already attached women. Rolando’s friend Gabriel Juarez, who happens to be at the wrong place at the wrong time, becomes entwined in Zsapata’s web when he was with Rolando on the night of the arrest. They end up with life sentences at Penitentiary Pacific, and Rolando’s mother, who is the Tri-state District Attorney, works diligently at securing the boys’ freedom. Emphasizing the idea that one’s actions may often carry formidable consequences, Penitentiary Pacific couples elements of adventure, suspense, and romance, with a futuristic conception of the new millennium.
