In this prison of the future, inhabited by society's most violent and feared criminals, Robbins is left to the mercy of the elements and his fellow man. He finds the island divided into two camps: The Outsiders, led by the brutal and bloodthirsty Marek; and The Insiders, led by the strong-willed, benevolent Father and his followers Hankins and Casey.
