Enter a world where, livestreamed to millions, prisoners fight like gladiators for the ultimate prize: their freedom.

Fan-favourite female stars Loretta Thurwar and Hamara 'Hurricane Staxxx' Stacker are teammates and lovers.

But as protestors clash with the baying crowds and the programme's corporate owners stack the odds against her - will the price be simply too high?
