ROAD DOGS is the story of bank-robber Jack Foley, who got caught by a die-pack on one easy robbery. He's back in prison doing a thirty-year sentence after a week-long escape. Foley has been brought in by Karen Sisco, US Marshall, who got her man after being abducted with the escapees. Jack and Karen have a thing for each other and Karen arrests him after a meaningful 'time out' together. Jack is resigning himself to doing time, lots of it and he seems to have a friendly and easy control over the hardened criminals he is imprisoned with. This easiness is enhanced in the minds of others by his fame as a bank robber. It is this ease which impresses Cundo Rey, a Cuban refugee and criminal who is doing time for murder. Cundo arranges to have Foley's sentence hugely reduced, but has favours aplenty to ask when they're both released.
