Serving Time

Serving Time is an American comedy-drama about a crime boss serving a prison sentence. While he is incarcerated, his associates struggle to keep his criminal enterprise running outside.

It combines both settings. The prison sentence drives the story, while the comedy-drama also follows the problems faced by the crime boss's associates on the outside.

The main conflict comes from trying to manage a criminal organization while its leader is in prison. His associates must deal with the practical and personal consequences of his absence.

No. The story also follows the criminal operation outside prison. That split between incarceration and the struggling organization gives the film its central comic and dramatic tension.
