Inmate to Roommate

Eight ordinary Americans have made an extreme choice: opening their home to a roommate just released from prison. As they prepare, they are questioned by friends and family about their decision to bring a former convict into their lives.

After 18 years behind bars, Bill is finally released from prison and immediately hit with a long list of rules from devout Mark and Sharna. Robert writes inmate Aaron a shocking letter about their upcoming living situation.

Shortly after Darquavion moves into Henry's house, he goes missing. Mark takes Bill for a driving lesson and learns about his pre-lockup getaway skills, while Sharna finds out that Bill has a girlfriend.

Sparks fly as Kyle and Sandra lay down the list of guidelines for released inmate Nick. Since Mark and Sharna keep a vegetarian house, Bill has been reduced to secretly storing his deli meats on the air conditioning vent.

Tiffane and her friend/naysayer, Quinn, pick up Arielle from prison and tensions boil on the ride home. Bill's living situation gets more complicated when Mark and Sharna decide to take extreme measures to keep their new roommate in line.

Henry, Darquavion and Uncle Joe's conversation about calling the police quickly turns explosive. Meanwhile, Nick buys an expensive truck without having car insurance and Kyle and Sandra are appalled.

When Bill leaves for California to visit his girlfriend, Sharna comes to a major decision regarding his parole. Meanwhile, Nick's temptations kick in at a Mardi Gras festival with Kyle and Sandra.

Mark and Sharna prepare for Bill's return from California by taking drastic measures. Henry asks Darquavion to meet up and discuss the incident that occurred between them, but Darquavion has something bigger on his mind.

Sandra confronts Nick about his suspected drug use. Bill arrives back in Indiana and unleashes on Mark and Sharna. Darquavion contemplates returning to a life of crime and just when Jovan feels things are looking up, he's hit with a grave setback.

After the big blowout, Nick makes a decision about his living situation with Kyle and Sandra. Artie meets with Jovan's wife, Kelly, to figure out what's next. Mark grows tired of waiting for Bill, so he takes matters into his own hands.
