Terry Savage is a former Marine whose daughter is in need of money for surgery. Desperate and unemployed, he robs drugs from a local gang but is apprehended. The police commissioner makes a deal with Terry to infiltrate a prison to investigate a corrupt prison warden suspected of illegal activities in exchange for release.
