The whole weight of familial responsibility rests on Sonja’s shoulders. She has to singlehandedly support her family, pay the rent, buy the groceries. Her husband, a failed writer, is not much help. Aside from her personal problems, there’s also trouble at work. Sonja is a corrections officer and was kidnapped during a previous attempt at a jailbreak. Traumatized by this experience she transferred to another prison. Everything seems to get better. But because of her mounting financial problems, she gets involved with the wrong people and her past catches up with her. The only person she can talk to is paradoxically the convicted killer of women, Robert Sturm. Despite their different uniforms and positions, a friendship develops – or is it only manipulation?
