Timeworn Joe Collins and his fellow inmates live under the heavy thumb of the sadistic, power-tripping guard Captain Munsey. Only Collins' dreams of escape keep him going, but how can he possibly bust out of Munsey's chains?
Survival depends entirely on outmaneuvering a sadistic guard who treats the prison yard like his personal kingdom. This claustrophobic noir pits a desperate inmate against a regime of pure cruelty in a relentless struggle for freedom.
