In 1978, Chopper is serving time for kidnapping a judge but prison can't control him. He murders a fellow inmate before an attempt is made on his own life by his best friend.

Amidst all the murder and mayhem around him, Chopper went on to become a best-selling author. Contains strong violence, coarse language, flashing images and drugs use.
