Synopsis:

The last days of Cheshire's trial have arrived, and her old comrades, Pistolera and Vicious are out for revenge too. The trial is also pianful for Arsenal, particularly when the guilty verdict is passed with a sentence of life without possibility of parole. When he visits with Lian, Pistolera and Vicious bribe a guard to start a fight which they hope will give them an opportunity to hurt, if not kill, Cheshire. Arsenal comes to her aid, but when she asks him to help her escape, he refuses. She then tries to fight her way past him, but when Lian sees this, both she and Arsenal come to their senses about their relationship and feelings.
