When millionaire hedge fund manager James King (Ferrell) is nailed for fraud and bound for a stretch in San Quentin,the judge gives him 30 days to get his affairs in order. Desperate,he turns to Darnell Lewis (Hart) to prep him for a life behind bars. But despite James’ one-percenter assumptions,Darnell is a hard-working small business owner who has never received a parking ticket,let alone been to prison. Together,the two men do whatever it takes for James to ‘get hard’ and,in the process,discover how wrong they were about a lot of things – including each other.
