A tense prison drama where an idealistic guard must navigate gang warfare, terrorism, and personal crisis in an increasingly volatile institutional setting.

Adriano is an honest prison guard who is averse to violence. He tries to keep the prison peaceful, even though he is struggling with major family problems. The arrival of Abdel, a dangerous international terrorist, increases the tension in the prison, which is already experiencing days of terror due to the fight between two criminal factions. Now, Adriano will have to face a rebellion and control Abdel's every move.
