Inside, Troy witnesses the harsh reality of abuse, manipulation, and systemic violence. Vulnerable inmates are routinely exploited, and the staff appears indifferent or complicit. As he gains the trust of fellow inmates and uncovers layers of corruption, the story intensifies when Troy’s most trusted ally, the head guard, is revealed to be the criminal mastermind orchestrating the abuse.
