A gritty prison thriller about a man trapped by a vengeful warden's personal vendetta, built on sustained tension and the protagonist's struggle against an oppressive system.

Frank Leone is nearing the end of his prison term for a relatively minor crime. Just before he is paroled, however, Warden Drumgoole takes charge. Drumgoole was assigned to a hell-hole prison after his administration was publicly humiliated by Leone, and has now arrived on the scene to ensure that Leone never sees the light of day.
