The film is a semi-autobiographical narrative inspired by the real-life experiences of Ronnie Thompson, a former prison officer who spent seven years in some of the UK’s most perilous prisons. Adapted from Thompson’s book with the same title, the film features James D’Arcy (Master & Commander), Noel Clarke (Kidulthood), Frank Harper (The Football Factory), Jamie Foreman (Layer Cake), Andrew Shim (This Is England), and Kate Magowan (Stardust). The plot follows ex-soldier Sam Norwood, who, after returning from Iraq, takes up a position as a prison guard and finds himself immersed in the dark world of prison life, encountering corrupt officers and drug smuggling.
