security prison, with the suspicion that Prison Warden, Carl Golan (Stacy Keach)
is running an underground fight club where prisoners fight to the death
for the entertainment of private viewers, paying internet subscribers
and for the financial gain of prison officials. Needing someone to
infiltrate the prison, Burke is offered the job with the promise of a
massive trustfund for his son and definite to be re-instated on the
force with an FBI job. Unable to let the opportunity pass, he agree to
the prospects and his desire whetted, the offer can’t be refused and he
agrees to pose as a prison inmate to investigate the deaths.
A high profile operation, the only way to get inside the prison
without arousing suspicion, is for Burke to commit a crime himself and
receive a jail sentence. Waiting outside a police precinct, he assaults
an officer and steals his squad car then purposely surrenders himself,
and once sentenced, is transported to the prison in a bus with other
convicts.
Not long after arrival inside, Burke brushes with some of the more
dangerous inmates of the prison, almost landing himself in fatal
situations, and eventually crosses swords with Milton Kennedy a.k.a. The President (Lester Speight)
a towering, physically imposing and vicious criminal and the boss of
the prison's biggest gang known as 'The Disciples'. Feared and respected
by all other felons, he has an untouchable status amongst them as well
as to the guards.
Burke's steel is then tested when he must defend himself against a
lowly group of cons, but his prowess only attracts the interest of
Warden Golan, who only sees in him a new addition to his league of
fighters. Soon, FBI suspicions are confirmed when Burke is plunged into a
cruel, sadistic world of life or death duels where he finds himself
forced to compete for the warden and his guards in the blood sport that he was drafted to expose.
