Summary: Alice Needham is a woman with a grim past and a hopeful future, an ex-con determined to keep on the straight and narrow and stay clean. All is going according to Alice's plan until a lover's betrayal sends her back to a nightmare of abuse. Returning to a women's prison, a reality in which humiliation and desperation are a way of life, Alice finds herself among a group of inmates who are repeatedly brutalised by prison staff and forced to have sex. She may be a convicted criminal, but Alice still has rights, and with the help of a crusading lawyer, Jack Devlin at her side, she vows to fight for justice and expose the scandal. With both her freedom and her life at stake, just how far is she prepared to go and what price is she willing to pay?
