All the prisoners are implanted with a chip that causes pain in case of violation of the prison regulations. If a prisoner dares to cross the red lines which mark out in squares the prison, the microchip will explode in his entrails. Furthermore, the main computer named Zed observes the slightest movements or dreams of the prisoners and reports them to the director Poe who decides which punishment to inflict to the culprit.
Brennick, in the company of his cell companions, will nevertheless find a way to take the dangerous chip out of his body and escape. But the way to the exit door is long and filled with danger.
