12 Doors to Pass is an action packed, dark story about love, hate and the disappointment of revenge, played out among a set of four young people in their mid-20s who grew up together in the slums of Chicago where teenage problems follow most youngsters into adulthood. Stark contrasts are drawn between the main characters - Jimmy and Donny - neighbors and enemies since childhood. Through flashbacks, it examines the early environmental and family forces that molded their characters and set their possibilities and limitations. To punish Donny for imagined injustices in the past, Jimmy molested Amber, Donny's fiancé, while Donny was away in the Marines. It resulted in pregnancy. When, in a fit of poor judgement, Jimmy kidnaps Amber as protection against Donny, the story morphs into a frantic, cross country chase with Donny moving ever-closer.
