The Prisoner
2049. Earth’s prisons are shut down and all inmates placed in
massive hibernation tanks. In the ten years since then, no one has
broken out… until now.
When prisoners check into
Washington D.C.’s maximum security “sugar cube,” they don’t check out.
Here lie suspended not just the planet’s most dangerous criminals, but
also half a million so-called “center inmates” — troublesome activists
whose only offense is to challenge those in power.
Laurel Cole
was one of those inmates — and now she’s on the run. After pulling off a
meticulously executed escape plan, she and her team must elude the
police by descending into the tunnels that run like poisoned veins
beneath the city. Pursued by a ruthless mercenary who knows these
sewers better than anyone, Laurel seeks help from a group of renegades
who live huddled in the fetid darkness. But if she ever hopes to see
daylight again — and expose the government’s lies — she’ll have to go even
deeper... and the clock is ticking.
