He is assigned to go undercover and expose the corruption of a private prison led by warden Lucas Fisher, portrayed by Jeremy Piven, and after a rough first night, he is taken the under the wing of Terrence Howard‘s inmate Bones and is forced to enter an underground fight ring hosted by Joker, played by Lil Yachty:
“Retired marine Terry Savage (Tyrese Gibson) would do anything to save his daughter, including robbing drug houses to pay for her medical treatment. When Savage gets caught, he’s offered a chance at redemption by the local police commissioner to get his daughter the care she needs in exchange for infiltrating a private prison and exposing the corruption that’s headed by a sadistic warden Lucas Fisher (Jeremy Piven.)
On his first night there, Savage is attacked by one of the prison gangs but saved by another inmate, Bones (Terrence Howard), an OG of the prison, who decides to teach Savage some unique, martial arts skills. When the warden recruits Savage for The Dungeon, his vicious, underground fight ring, hosted by a deranged inmate, Joker (Lil Yachty,) Savage must fight for his life against ruthless and bloodthirsty inmates. With help from Bones, Savage must capture incriminating evidence while trying to stay alive and get back to his daughter. But when the trusted man who sent him turns out to be a part of the problem, Savage exposes the corruption by eventually turning all the prisoners against the system resulting in a violent action-packed prison riot that leaves many dead.”
