The staff of Raymar Prison are trying to move on from the catastrophic events earlier in 2004. The governor, with an eye to the future amongst other things, embraces an idea which he hopes will restore harmony and drive the prison forward. The new Special Secure Unit has one resident, a notorious serial killer who enjoys bragging about his favourite victim and a female prison officer. Illegal drugs, currency and entertainment on the wings are in short supply until the London underworld steps in. The vulnerable are sucked into situations where they find—to certain costs—that there is no turning back. Violence costs nothing for those with nothing; the price of a life can be as cheap as a promise and as easy as a misunderstanding. Will the governor succeed or will corruption plunge Raymar into darkness?
