2002年，一个固若金汤的监狱内，囚犯过着非人生活。由雷·利奥塔带头的一班囚犯，几经辛苦逃离监狱，却又到了一个找不到出路的丛林，他们会坐以待毙吗？
Robbins is sentenced to prison for the assassination of his general officer, a prison you leave only when you die. Since nobody ever leaves the prison, nobody knows what the prison is like. The prison manager realizes this and buys himself an island playground called "Absolom," where the worst prisoners are free to create an isolated barbaric society, and where the strongest men rule...a living hell. Robbins is sent to Absolom after he almost kills the prison manager.
