"Psychos, serial killers, dealers and felons...Total scum and a burden to society...We locked them up and left them to rot...One problem: they want out."
In the near future, incarceration has changed. All dangerous offenders, deemed of no use to society, are shipped to secluded penal colonies (known as Reservations) to live out the rest of their lives amongst the criminals that normal society doesn’t want to see. There is no parole, no appeal, and no escape.
Life in the colonies is brutal; conditions are crowded, life is short, violent, and the guards are hard and cruel. On the Outside, as the crime rates drop, a vocal public cries out for harder and more effective measures to stamp out crime altogether. As a result, life only gets harder for those souls already incarcerated and more than one wrongly convicted Lag is put behind unforgiving bars. There is no sympathy and prison is definitely Hell.
Driven to breaking point, the internees of HMP Reservation Cosford have hatched a plot to overthrow their guards, take control of the Reservation, and make a break for freedom. Revenge against their guards and against the public that put them there is their driving purpose and no-one will be free from blame or retribution.
A date has been set, the plan is in motion, and an organised riot is coming. Weapons, improvised with months of covert toil, have been cached and are ready to be unleashed on the unsuspecting Screws. Pain is coming, the only question is “For who?”
Will the prisoners overthrow their guards, and win their freedom? Will the guards crush the rebellion with an iron fist? The outcome will be determined by the ferocity of the combatants - how hard will YOU fight?
