Prison can force you to face your demons. Sometimes though, you have to face more than just your own… William Lees has been transferred to HMP Page. It’s an old prison, with even older secrets buried under its soil. When a shocking act of violence takes place, something awakens. Something that thrives off bloodshed, that revels in violence.
