Summary: When he was young, Gene Morton killed a man who tried to steal the
credit for his brilliant research. Now working on a prison assembly line

credit for his brilliant research. Now working on a prison assembly line
fixing the busted tape decks of fellow inmates, his chances at parole have
been sabotaged by his own honesty and sense of guilt. Although it's a
lonely life, late at night, after lights-out, Gene brings out his small friends, a
swarm of microscopic machines that he made from prison scrap and
keeps in a matchbox. The MEMS short for microelectromechanical
machines are controlled by a small keypad and can work together to
perform an amazing variety of tasks, from sculpting steel to picking locks.
The MEMS are Gene's little secret until one night when he takes pity on
Lawrence, a fellow inmate who has broken a CD player belonging to
Marlon, the prison tough guy. Knowing Marlon might kill Lawrence, Gene
sends the MEMS to fix the player. Lawrence is dazzled, but repays the
favor by teaming up with Marlon to blackmail Gene. The two cons threaten
to kill Gene's daughter Becky and grandson Phillip unless he uses the
MEMS to help them break out of prison. When things turn ugly during the
jailbreak and Marlon's demands increase, Gene knows he's in big trouble
and the only help available is from friends who are smaller than the eye
can see.… Expand
