Allen is a drug-slinging hustler. Rosalyn is a heroin-addicted shoplifter. Their lives are so entangled in the correctional system that it's hard to remember where they went wrong. But for these two petty criminals, both of whom have been to jail more times than they care to recall, getting out of New York City's Rikers Island is another chance to finally turn their lives around. It won't be easy. 'After the Island' offers a gritty glimpse of the challenges facing ex-offenders as they try to re-enter society.
