Blackridge Penitentiary is a maximum-security prison where the official rules are only one part of the system. Behind steel doors and monitored corridors exists a hidden network of corruption, favors, contraband, and secrets involving both inmates and officers. Y/N is one of the officers who has learned how to survive within that system — and they aren't alone. While some officers look the other way, others are directly involved in the illegal dealings taking place behind the prison walls. Among the inmates is Caleb Mercer, a man sentenced to life in prison after crossing people far more powerful than himself. Intelligent, manipulative, and dangerously controlling, Caleb understands that information can be worth more than money inside Blackridge. When Y/N begins secretly smuggling things to Caleb, what was supposed to be nothing more than an exchange of favors slowly becomes something far more complicated — and increasingly difficult to separate from the corruption surrounding them. Meanwhile, a new officer arrives at the prison knowing nothing about what truly happens inside. Ethan Parker is too curious, asks too many questions, and notices too much. And in Blackridge, discovering the wrong secret can be just as dangerous as being behind bars.
