When her husband, Derek (<strong>Omari Hardwick<\/strong>), is sentenced to eight years in a California  prison, Ruby (<strong>Emayatzy Corinealdi<\/strong>) drops out of medical school to maintain her marriage and  focus on ensuring Derek&#8217;s survival in his violent new environment.  Driven by love, loyalty, and hope, Ruby learns to sustain the shame,  separation, guilt, and grief that a prison wife must bear. Her new life  challenges her to the very core of her identity, and her turbulent path  propels her in new, often frightening directions of self-discovery.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:
