The day before a violent criminal is due to be released from prison, his wife and child are kidnapped. Armed only with a mobile phone he must somehow save them… and himself.
When violent criminal Joe gets a call a few days before his release his world is turned upside down. Joe's ex-wife Sara and son Rory have been abducted, and unless he follows kidnappers’ orders his family will die.
Confused, angry and desperate, Joe is caught like a rat in a trap. Hardened prison officers Smith and Rogers only add to Joe's woes as he battles not only those on the inside but also those pulling the strings on the outside. An unflinching descent into chaos, where every decision could mean the difference between freedom and a violent end.
A relentless, high-stakes action thriller, where the drama takes place within a single prison cell.
