Plot:
Kyle LeBlanc is an American working overseas in Magnitogorsk, Russia. When he hears his wife being attacked on the phone, Kyle rushes home, but it is too late to save her. Sergio Kovic, the man who raped and murdered her, bribes the judge and is found not guilty due to lack of evidence. Enraged, Kyle steals a gun from a bailiff and shoots Sergio multiple times in front of the entire courthouse, killing him. For this, he is sentenced to life in prison without parole. He is sent to Kravawi Prison, run by the corrupt warden General Khrushchev.
Upon arrival, he is beaten by a guard for refusing to give up his wedding ring. That same night, he witnesses guards taking a 21-year-old American prisoner named Billy Cooper to another cell to be…. a prison fighter and Russian mafia member named Andrei. The next morning, a beaten and injured Billy is taken to the infirmary by guards, and Andrei is released from his cell. Kyle gets into a fight with Andrei, who provoked him in the same way as his wife’s killer, and he is put in solitary confinement.
