In the dystopian future, prisons have been turned into subscription TV services where viewers vote on what inmates eat, wear and do. While being transferred to another facility, fighter and popular inmate Hardin Jones escapes with the help of his brother. Hardin wants nothing more than to disappear, but with millions of people rooting for him as an anti-hero, a group of rebels want him to be a symbol who helps motivate the public to challenge the status quo.
