The series takes place over a three-month period and begins when a new zero-tolerance policy is launched by the management to restore the prison’s reputation. In detail, the story is told from the perspectives of four prison officers, Sammi, Henrik, Miriam and Gert, who are colleagues in an old, dilapidated Danish jail, and face challenges and dilemmas on a daily basis. The story kicks off when they are forced to conduct a thorough investigation in the prison to save their jobs, and prevent the hierarchy and drug trade from dominating the workplace within three months. The investigation turns into a battle for survival – not only for the prison, but also for everyone inside and outside its walls.

DR Drama is staging the project, whilst DR Sales is handling its international sales. The six-part show is set to premiere on DR1 next summer.
