Plot
In the not-too-distant future, Capt. J.T. Robbins (Liotta) is sent to prison for killing his superior. The corporately (and corruptly) run prison causes Robbins to rebel against the Warden (Lerner). His rebellion only gets him sent to the most maximum security facility there is - Absolom. The worst hardcore criminals are just dumped onto the island Absolom to live or die as they can. The island is patrolled by heavily armed helicopters and fenced by impenetrable sea defenses. Two different societies have formed over the years; an evil 'empire' run by Walter Marek (Wilson) that is conflicting with the other, more pacific, group run by The Father (Henriksen). Resources are kept scarce by the warden as a game to keep the population down by destroying themselves. Who will our hardcore Captain fit in with the best? Can anyone escape from Absolom?
