Nick Mason has already spent five years inside a maximum security prison when an offer comes that will grant his release twenty years early. He accepts—but the deal comes with a terrible price. Now, back on the streets, Nick Mason has a new house, a new car, money to burn, and a beautiful roommate. He’s returned to society, but he's still a prisoner. Whenever his cell phone rings, day or night, Nick must answer it and follow whatever order he is given. It’s the deal he made with Darius Cole, a criminal mastermind serving a double-life term who runs an empire from his prison cell. Forced to commit increasingly more dangerous crimes, hunted by the relentless detective who put him behind bars, and desperate to go straight and rebuild his life with his daughter and ex-wife, Nick will ultimately have to risk everything—his family, his sanity, and even his life—to finally break free.


尼克‧梅森關押在戒備最森嚴的監獄裡，在牢獄人生的第五年，迎來了一場交易，只要答應就能提早 20 年出獄。梅森接受了，然而卻付出了可怕的代價。梅森出獄後，享有新房子、新車子、花不完的錢，還有一位美麗的室友。雖然梅森已回歸社會，但他仍過著囚犯般的生活。無論白天黑夜，只要手機響了，他都必須接聽，並執行任何派達的指令。這一切都源於梅森與達瑞斯‧高爾的交易，高爾是名被判兩個無期徒刑的犯罪天才，在囚室裡操縱他的犯罪帝國。梅森一方面被迫犯下更多、更危險的罪行、不斷遭到警探的盤查，另一方面渴望能金盆洗手、修復與女兒和前妻的關係，並重振人生，為此，他必需賭上一切——家庭、智慧、甚至是生命，才能打破桎梏，獲得真正的自由。
