The premise of Sealed Lips without spoilers.
Romano, a notorious gangster locked in a federal penitentiary, behaves strangely; he no longer sounds like himself and constantly guards a secret. Detective Lee senses something is off and begins to investigate, convinced that Romano may be more than just a criminal—or perhaps even a missing citizen.
