Plot Summary
- Breslin-Clark, a security company that specializes in evaluating the security protocols of super max prisons, was founded and is co-owned by former prosecutor Ray Breslin. Driven by the killings of his wife and kids by an escaped convict he had successfully prosecuted, Breslin has established a reputation as the guy who can escape any jail by posing as an inmate in order to study facilities from within and take advantage of their flaws to escape.CIA agent Jessica Miller offers Breslin and his business partner, Lester Clark, a multimillionaire-dollar contract to test a new, top-secret jail for missing people, provided Ray and his crew are not allowed to know the facility's actual location. Breslin consents despite the fact that this goes against his morals, enabling his arrest as a terrorist-for-hire. His kidnappers poison him and take away a tracking microchip that was inserted in his arm, making it impossible for his coworkers to follow his whereabouts. This throws the plan into a loop.After waking up inside the jail, Breslin discovers that Willard Hobbes, the warden, is not the same warden who was meant to release him in an emergency. He becomes friends with another prisoner, Emil Rottmayer, who says he works as a security specialist for Victor Mannheim, a phony Robin Hood-style thief of the rich.Breslin plans an escape attempt after learning that he is in the middle of an ocean on a huge prison ship. Breslin is informed by Hobbes that he knows who he really is and that he will make sure Breslin is imprisoned for the remainder of his life. Hobbes accepts Breslin's promise to release him in return for information on Mannheim. Hobbes is fed misleading information about Mannheim by Breslin, and when Breslin's employment pay is frozen, his coworkers Abigail Ross and Hush start to doubt Clark. Code-named "The Tomb," the prison is operated by a for-profit company connected to an infamous private security contractor, Hush learns. Regarding Breslin's incarceration, it is also shown that Clark communicates with Hobbes.Breslin and Rottmayer determine they are somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean close to Morocco with the assistance of another prisoner, Javed. In a second escape attempt, Hobbes and his men shoot Javed dead, but Breslin murders a guard called Drake when he attempts to stop them. Mannheim's chopper and the guards are involved in a shootout. With Breslin evacuated to the ship's bottom, Rottmayer joins the helicopter. Breslin arrives to the helicopter as Hobbes is firing at him, shoots multiple leaking barrels of oil, and Hobbes is killed in the explosion.Rottmayer reveals that he is indeed Mannheim and that "Jessica Miller" is actually his daughter, who actually recruited Breslin to plan her father's escape when the chopper lands on a beach in Morocco. After being imprisoned in a cargo container, Clark is taken to an unidentified place.
Storyline
- Ray Breslin is a man who has devoted his life to making prisons inescapable by going into a prison as an inmate and trying to see if he can break out. And he has done a good job so far. A woman who says she works for the CIA approaches Ray and says that a new maximum security prison where the worst criminals are to be incarcerated, is about to be launched. So she wants him to go and make sure no one can get out. He agrees. So they make the necessary preps but when Ray arrives at the prison, he discovers that someone doesn't want him to get out. He then tries to find a way out but he needs help. Another prisoner, Rottmeyer becomes friendly with him. And they decide to work together to get out. — rcs0411@yahoo.com Ray Breslin is a renowned specialist in prison breaking in high-security facilities. He owns a company with his partner Lester Clark and he works with his coworkers and friends Abigail and Hush. Breslin follows three basic rules to escape: to know the layout; observe the routine; and get internal or external support to the getaway. Then he delivers a report with the flaws in the system to his client. Breslin and his team are visited by the CIA agent Jessica Miller that offers five-million dollars to him to test a state-of-art facility. Breslin accepts the challenge but soon he learns that he was double-crossed. The cruel prison ward Hobbes gives special attention to Breslin, following the instructions of his client and uses his right arm Drake to break Breslin. But the inmate Rottmayer gets close to Breslin and helps him to find a way to escape and find who betrayed him. Will they be well succeeded in their intent? — Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Having committed himself to searching for weak spots in the reliability of high-security prisons, Ray Breslin, the man with the unusual talent, faces yet another challenge. Should Ray accept, he will have to infiltrate and attempt to break out from the "Tomb", one of the government's uncharted and impregnable prison forts, where the world's worst criminals are left to disappear. Under a new name, Ray arrives at the top-secret facility of the sadistic warden, Hobbes, only to realise, right from the start, that he is double-crossed, lured into a trap and an inescapable fate. Under those circumstances, to have a fighting chance, Ray will have to trust the mysterious cell-block inmate, Emil Rottmayer, to come up with an audacious escape plan that could save them both. But, can the bold escape artist make it out alive this time? — Nick Riganas Former prosecutor Ray Bresli is the leading authority and author on prison security, and as penitentiary escape artist the partner of Lester Clark in the firm hired by the US federal authorities to test high-security prisons from the inside, never failing. Against his own guidelines, he accepts to be hired by the CIA to test their novel 'inexistent' black site The Tomb, without his team getting any information. His tracker is ripped out during transport to the cruel underground site run by warden Hobbes, who denies any knowledge of the agreed extraction protocol and keeps him locked-up indefinitely, unless he can find out the identity of the elusive hacker who may crack the entire bank system. Ray agrees but actually concludes an escape pact with toughest prisoner Emil Rottmayer. Both must fight to get into isolation and play warden, prison doctor Kyrie and some stooge prisoners, while senior jailer Drake develops a personal grudge for Ray. Inititial scouting only shows the task worse the expected, as they're aboard a decommissioned tanker. — KGF Vissers
