The world has been nearly destroyed by greed. Young male prisoners must battle in the ring to win their freedom. Marcus Brown needs to win his next few fights and he can finally leave Ravanald Maximum Security Prison for Young Men--where he's serving an eight year sentence for stealing apples to feed his starving sister. When he wins his final fight, he'll never have to look into the face of Warden Paul Honeycutt, the man responsible for making Marcus's life a living hell, along with all the other inmates in the facility. But if he wins his freedom, he may have to leave behind his lover, Cory York, the only ray of sunshine in Marcus's dark existence.
