A gardening guru, who encourages him and four other inmates to enter a national gardening competition, recognizes his talent.When British Colin is placed in an experimental program to finish off his prison sentence, all he wants is peace and quiet.

But after his wise, elderly roommate Fergus introduces him to gardening, Colin uncovers a talent and passion for plants. Clive Owen plays Colin Briggs, a man who is imprisoned for a crime he will not discuss. He thinks of himself as a prisoner and nothing else. When he is released, he commits a much smaller crime in order to get back into prison. He is comfortable in prison and may not feel he has much identity outside prison walls.

Colin is moved to a progressive prison where trust is the main thing. There are no wired fences but if you disobey the rules, you can go back to being familiar with wired fences in a hurry. He is given the opportunity to learn something, but Colin has given up on life. So he takes whatever job they give him, and of course he hates it. Teaming up with his fellow inmates, Colin gets the attention of celebrated gardener Georgina Woodhouse. Soon, the unexpected gardeners are preparing to compete for England's highset flower show award. And when Colin meets Georgina's beautiful daughter Primrose, he discovers another reason to fight for his freedom: true love.
