We start in a male prison where inmates are working out.
Shortly after, an alarm sounds, signaling all inmates to return to their cells.
An inmate has blackmailed Sam, a prison guard, into delivering contraband.
He threatened to expose Sam if he didn’t comply, warning that Sam would end up in the same prison and be under his control.
Feeling threatened, Sam attacks the inmate but is badly beaten, resulting in a cut on his face.
He is later taken to the doctor to check for a concussion and to get stitches.
When asked what happened by Tim and other guards, Sam lies, saying the inmate had been giving him trouble for a while.
He claims he only asked the inmate to return to his cell, but the inmate responded with, “Make me.
”
Sam says he asked again, and when the inmate didn’t comply, he pushed the inmate, who then grabbed him and headbutted him.
In self-defense, Sam struck the inmate with a nightstick.
For his safety from other inmates, it is agreed that Sam will be transferred.
A few days later, we see Sam on the roof.
He notices suspicious activity in the yard and uses the prison telescope to get a closer look.
A fight breaks out among the inmates, prompting Sam to push the emergency alarm.
Guards retrieve their tear gas and position themselves along the roof as the fight continues.
Several inmates are injured.
When the fight persists, the guards fire warning shots, causing the inmates to lie on the ground.
However, Sam spots an attack taking place.
A guard accidentally hits a Black inmate.
The fully geared guards enter the yard and begin restraining the inmates one by one.
Someone on the rooftop realizes the mistake.
Warden Mills, along with guards Ed Simmons and Tim, discuss the shooting.
Tim defends Sam.
Warden Mills, angered, demands to know why Sam was in the tower and where he should be sent next.
They explain that due to the previous incident, where Sam was attacked and injured, they thought it best to separate him from the inmates.
Ed suggests reassigning Sam to the receiving or discharge department, or perhaps to driving the perimeter.
Tim continues to defend Sam, questioning the need for reassignment.
However, Warden Mills orders Sam to be relocated to the women’s prison despite objections from Ed and Tim.
He also calls for a lockdown.
We follow Sam after his transfer to the women’s prison.
As he stands aside to let the female inmates pass, they make enticing gestures toward him.
Some even hold their chests and suggest they need searching.
Inmate Cherry takes notice of Sam as she enters the classroom.
Mariam McClusky catches the overly friendly interaction between Sam and Cherry and demands to know who sent Sam to the women’s prison.
He explains that it was for his own protection after an incident at the men’s prison.
Mariam warns him that the female inmates are no different from the men and will try to manipulate him.
During her lesson on human evolution, Cherry uses a mirror to watch Sam, who stands at the back of the classroom.
In the break room, the guards discuss the differences between the men’s maximum-security prison and the women’s prison.
Sam jokingly remarks that today felt like a vacation compared to the men’s prison, which he likens to a jungle.
The other guards warn him to wait and see what happens after the women are put to bed.
They tell him the inmates will cry, tell fake stories to get his attention, and complain about guards watching them as they change clothes.
They explain the unique dangers of the women’s prison and advise Sam to act like a robot, following all the rules precisely.
At bedtime, they proceed to lock each cell one by one until discovering an inmate with a confiscated phone.
Sam is then instructed to lock the next cell, where he encounters Cherry, who pretends to be reading a magazine.
Checking in with her, he asks if she’s all right.
She responds positively and requests that her cell be closed.
Sam continues with his duties.
The following day, Sam is standing by the classroom door as the inmates pass by.
One inmate intentionally pushes Cherry into him.
She grabs his jacket and says, “I’ll see you tonight.
“A female guard tells Sam to get his head out of the clouds.
Otherwise, these ladies are going to take advantage of him.
That same night, as Sam instructs inmates to turn off their bunk lights, he approaches Cherry’s cell and discovers her exposed.
Sam is deeply affected by what he sees and continues to stare at her.
Unbeknownst to them, everything is being recorded on camera.
The next day, Sam is in the control room when Cherry starts acting strangely.
As he approaches, she claims to have pain in her side so she can be escorted to the infirmary.
On the way there, she drags Sam under a stairwell that is not monitored by cameras and is apparently a popular hookup spot.
Sam tries to resist for all of five seconds but quickly gives in, proving he is completely unfit for the position.
Afterward, they talk briefly.
Then Cherry suddenly turns on him.
Like a praying mantis, she stabs Sam multiple times in the neck and screams for help, making it appear that he attacked her and she acted in self-defense.
She crawls out from under the stairwell screaming for assistance, seemingly trying to create the impression that she survived an attack from a guard and that killing him was justified.
What we can say is that Sam’s naivety and lack of experience made him vulnerable to inmates who were often seasoned, manipulative, and desensitized to violence.
