Marty is a correctional officer at a federal prison. As a tool of intimidation, the inmates have formed a gang and continuously made threats to the officers and their families. Marty has never complied with the gangs’ demands, which has caused great animosity between him and the gang members. One day, Maxwell, the leader of prison’s gang, is to be released. Maxwell has told Marty that when he gets out, he is going to take his revenge on Marty by killing Marty’s entire family. On the date of his release, Marty followed Maxwell to a liquor store.
