Inside prison, Stevens orchestrates an audacious breakout involving his criminal network on the outside, recruiting a delivery driver and forging official documents to create the chaos needed for a mass escape. As guards and convicts scatter in the confusion, the scheme teeters between triumph and catastrophe, testing whether Stevens' cunning can outmatch the prison's defenses.
