A gritty prison-corruption thriller built on action and paranoia, where an undercover cop navigates a hellish system of faked deaths and coerced assassins.

Someone in a prison run by a corrupt warden fakes the deaths of convicts to later use them as expendable assassins. A police officer is sent into the prison to gather evidence of the corruption.
