Arriving in prison is also the young naive Chris, as a first-timer, he is rapidly subject for the higher ranked interns lead by Little Hitler, who brutally uses him as a courier. By his sense for the young ones and his little brother at mind, disturbed by the situation, Josef decides to help and teach Chris how to survive, as things rapidly escalate to the worse and out of control.
