Not many people can work behind the lethal electric fence in a maximum security prison. Correctional staff walk among, communicate with and monitor or supervise convicts, also known as inmates. Integrity plays a vital role as prison gangs manipulate staff into doing their bidding in drug trafficking and other criminal activities. Correctional Officer Carlos Vega and Correctional Captain Makey (Mac) work together and share a close personal family relationship outside the prison walls. The prison gangs are becoming stronger as drug activity increases and the struggle for control between warring gang factions ignite into conflict. Disrespect issues quickly become the catalyst for violence and revenge. Payback for vengeance then becomes a vicious circle for further violence. The lack of integrity with some staff enables gang leader, Inmate Ortiz, to infiltrate and secure a set-up with Officer Vega. Once indebted by a prison gang, staff, their friends and their families are put at risk. Termination of gang control does not happen without consequence. Captain Makey, once a police officer in the Los Angeles area, is caught in the middle as he is asked to investigate criminal activity, not only within the prison walls but with outside authorities as well.
