But Brooke has a dangerous secret: her high school sweetheart, Shane, is one of the prison's most notorious criminals, and Brooke's own testimony put him there. Now Shane knows Brooke's dirty secret and will stop at nothing to use it against her. As Brooke fights to keep her past buried, a tense game of cat and mouse unfolds with her freedom and her life on the line.
