Alice Marano e Darlene Davis têm sido melhores amigas desde que eram crianças, apesar de suas diferenças: Alice, de uma família de classe trabalhadora, é sempre aquela que vive um pouco no limite, disposta a correr riscos que muitas vezes a colocam em apuros, enquanto Darlene, de uma família de classe média alta, é mais certinha e ingênua.
No verão seguinte à formatura no ensino médio do Meio-Oeste, elas querem fazer algo grande antes de Darlene ir para a faculdade. Em vez de uma viagem segura, mas cara, para o Havaí, Alice convence Darlene a fazer uma viagem barata de onze dias para a Tailândia, mudança de local sobre a qual Darlene não contará aos pais.
Querendo experimentar a Tailândia além de seu orçamento, elas acabam confiando na pessoa errada, o que resulta em sua prisão e acusação de tráfico de drogas na Tailândia. Sob o sistema corrupto e sem conhecer o idioma, elas acabam sendo condenadas a trinta e três anos de prisão cada uma, onde as condições são severas.
Eles e o Sr. Davis recebem pouca ajuda dos funcionários da embaixada dos EUA, Roy Knox, que gosta de seguir o caminho de menor resistência, o que no caso das meninas significa não incomodar as autoridades tailandesas.
Seguindo o conselho de algumas das outras detentas não tailandesas, elas decidem procurar e contratar Henry Greene - "Hank the Yank" - um advogado americano expatriado, e sua esposa advogada tailandesa, Yon Greene. Além de sua aparência de caça-ambulâncias duvidosa, Hank, que com Yon conhece o sistema, realmente tem o melhor interesse das meninas no coração, enquanto tenta tirá-las da prisão e de volta aos Estados Unidos.
O que poderia afetar ainda mais o que acontece com as meninas é se uma delas é realmente culpada de contrabandear drogas conscientemente, ou pelo menos um pouco culpada sobre o assunto das drogas.
