A prisoner in JVA Weißenburg takes a staff member hostage, prompting Prison Director Ella Jansen to enter the cell in exchange, relying on negotiation. When a special unit’s imminent arrival drives the inmate to rage and sexual violence, Jansen is rescued but then becomes entangled in a ruthless political scandal and power struggle that overlooks individual suffering.
