Spoilers ahead
In 2001, after all prisons have been privatized, Ricky Ho—an almost superhuman force of endurance—is sent to a harsh, privatized facility to serve a manslaughter sentence tied to the death of a crime boss who was involved in his girlfriend’s tragedy. The prison is starkly divided into four wings, each ruled by a member of the feared Gang of Four, and Ricky lands squarely in the North wing, where power plays and brutality shape every day behind the concrete walls. The system is brutal, but Ricky’s presence begins to unsettle the delicate balance of control.
