Juvenile wing, Dante Prison.

Seventeen-year-old Alice never imagined she'd end up here. A straight--A student with a spotless record, it was only a week ago that her life was filled with college prep and caring for her ill mother. Now, she's locked inside a brutal juvenile detention center where good behavior means nothing —and survival means picking a side.

At first, Alice believes she can game the system: keep her head down, play the model inmate, and earn an early release. But Dante Prison doesn’t reward obedience. When she uncovers a secret plot to stage a daring breakout, Alice seizes a risky opportunity. She infiltrates the group behind it planning to betray them to the authorities in exchange for her freedom. But nothing goes as expected. As the escape plan takes shape and the walls between Alice and her fellow inmates begin to fall, lines blur. What started as manipulation turns into something deeper — connection, even loyalty. With her mother’s health rapidly declining, Alice is running out of time.

The question is no longer how she'll get out. It's who she'll leave behind.
