Time to think, time to repent.
If nothing else, Death Row allows space for that. Like many before him, Jonah Toomb strays spectacularly off the straight and narrow and washes up on the Row. There is nothing to do but wait for the inevitable. Or is there? Unlike any other, the once renowned chef makes it his mission to ensure that each condemned inmate has one last divine culinary experience. Bit by bit, one small chink of Humanity creeps into that most forbidding of environments, Death Row.
With Jared Harris [Jonah Toomb], George Harris [Tee Pee], Larry Lamb [The Warden], Patrick Robinson [Al Bird], Stanley Townsend [Barracuda], Andrew French [Jello], Ginny Holder [Linda], Amber Batty [Martha], and John Guerrasio [The Guard / Pecker Wood].
