The script appears to be a dark comedy about a prisoner, Thomas Dufresne, who is serving time for arson. The story jumps back and forth between Thomas's time in prison and his parole hearing. In prison, Thomas befriends other inmates and gets into various misadventures, including participating in a chaotic game of "Squid Game" with the prison guards.
Throughout the script, Thomas's obsession with fire and his desire for freedom are recurring themes. He also struggles to fit in with the other inmates and finds himself at odds with the prison authorities.
Ultimately, Thomas is given a chance to escape and makes a run for it, navigating through 500 yards of "weirdly unlocked doors" to achieve freedom. The script ends with Thomas feeling victorious and ready to start a new life, with a plan to rob a bank.
