The 2003 movie In the Red follows the story of a young man named Ray who has been released from prison and is trying to get his life back on track. Ray is a former drug addict who has spent several years in prison, and he now wants to start a new life. However, he soon finds out that it is not as easy as he thought it would be. Ray does not have anywhere to go once he gets out of prison, and he is forced to live with his sister and her husband. His family is not exactly welcoming, and Ray soon realizes that his sister and her husband do not trust him. Ray's sister is also involved in an affair with her boss, which creates tension in the family.

Ray wants to turn his life around, and he starts looking for a job. However, his criminal record makes it difficult for him to find employment. Ray's parole officer suggests that he go to a support group for ex-convicts, and Ray reluctantly agrees. At the support group, Ray meets Molly, a woman who also has a troubled past. Molly is a recovering drug addict, and she is trying to rebuild her life. Ray and Molly become friends and start to confide in each other.

As Ray struggles to find a job, he becomes increasingly desperate, and he starts to get into trouble again. Ray's old friend, Cliff, shows up and offers him a job as a drug dealer. Ray knows that this is not the right thing to do, but he feels like he has no other choice. Ray starts to sell drugs, and he quickly gets in over his head. He finds out that the people he is working for are ruthless and will stop at nothing to get what they want.

As Ray sinks deeper into the criminal underworld, he tries to keep his involvement a secret from Molly. However, Molly finds out what Ray is doing and confronts him. She tells Ray that he is better than this and that he should not throw his life away. Molly's words hit home, and Ray decides to quit the drug dealing business.

Ray's decision to quit the drug trade is not well received by his boss, and he finds himself in grave danger. Ray realizes that he needs to get out of town if he wants to stay alive. Ray and Molly make plans to leave town and start a new life together.

In the Red is a gritty take on the struggles that ex-convicts face when they try to rebuild their lives. The movie is a poignant reminder that it is not easy to leave behind a life of crime and addiction, and that sometimes, even the best intentions can lead to bad decisions. The movie's cast is excellent, and the chemistry between the lead actors is palpable. In the Red is a powerful movie that will stay with you long after the credits roll.
