Through a series of comedic setups, Lyshitski frames Nelson for a crime he didn’t commit and then deliberately gets himself sent back to the same prison to become Nelson's cellmate. His goal is to make Nelson’s "big house" experience a living hell, leading to a series of absurdist situations involving toilet wine, prison gangs, and an unexpected romance with a fellow inmate named Barry (Chi McBride).
