Wrenched from the comfort of his wife and daughter, Taylor's agony starts when he enters the terrible world of prison. On the outside, Garrett roams free. In order to gain control, he masterminds the undoing of his boss, Shanks, who controls a network of operations from behind bars and all hell breaks loose. Taylor, meanwhile, is forced to defend himself against repeated attacks by Shanks and his killers - a bloodthirsty gang who control the joint. When Taylor's partner is savagely mutilated by Garnett, Taylor is forced to escape and settle the score in the only way Garrett understands - with fists and firepower.
