Plot

edit

The film is set in San Tiburon, the world's most dangerous maximum-security prison, designed to incarcerate supervillains and enhanced individuals. The facility is equipped with power inhibitors to neutralize the abilities of its inmates, ensuring control over the diverse and often dangerous population.

The narrative begins with the arrival of Payback (Dan Payne), a zealous vigilante whose mission to hunt down enhanced humans leads to his incarceration at San Tiburon. His entry into the prison disrupts the existing balance of power among inmates and staff.

Warden Devlin (Michael Rooker), known as "The Overseer," is the corrupt and ambitious head of San Tiburon. He is particularly interested in Julius "The Lobe" Loeb (Bruce Willis), a notorious inmate with immense intellect and telekinetic abilities. The Lobe is rumored to have a hidden fortune, and Devlin is determined to extract its location to fund his luxurious retirement.

Among the inmates is Diego Diaz (Brennan Mejia), a new prisoner whose sole ability is heightened empathy. Navigating the treacherous environment of San Tiburon, Diego must choose his allies carefully to avoid becoming a pawn in the deadly games between inmates and the warden.

As tensions escalate, alliances form and betrayals unfold. The power struggle between The Lobe and The Overseer intensifies, leading to a violent uprising within the prison. Amidst the chaos, Diego's empathetic abilities become crucial in mediating conflicts and seeking a path to survival.

The film culminates in a confrontation that challenges the corrupt systems in place, with characters forced to confront their own moral compasses. The resolution leaves the future of San Tiburon and its inhabitants hanging in the balance, questioning the true meaning of justice and redemption.
