Behind prison walls, corruption, sex and power make criminals out of the guards and heroes out of the guarded.

Leading a group of inmates on a risky life-or-death struggle for justice, a ten year silence is finally broken, exposing the twisted truth to the world and enabling the prisoners the freedom to live without fear.
