Filmed on location at Utah State Prison, this made-for-TV film revolves around college professor Jonathan Paige (Alan Alda) who is serving his term for manslaughter. Needing protection from those around him, Paige gets close to a gang led by ruthless Hugo Slocum (Vic Morrow)–and his problems only grow worse. Troubles abound also for prison guards. The chief prison guard is Officer Brown (Roy Jenson) who is a pawn of Slocums. New recruit Brian Courtland (Clu Gulager) finds his hands are tied as well. Everything about this prison appears to be corrupt, but that does not stop Courtland from attempting to bring about reform.
