- 5 Men. 4 Walls. 1 Plan. Frank Perry is an institutionalized convict twelve years into a life sentence without parole. When his estranged daughter falls ill, he is determined he make peace with her before it's too late.

Much of the action takes place within the tunnels, sewers and underground rivers of subterranean London.

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"A taut thriller that ends on a note of unexpected grace."
-
"All of this mayhem keeps us watching, but it would be hard to describe the experience as pleasurable."
-
"The splintered viewpoints help with the monotony, but from the taunting of new inmates to the cell-block sadist, we've gone through all this before, right down to the final twists."
-
"It makes for an unexpectedly welcome form of dramatic escape: the character study breaking free from a hoary old movie genre."
