The story

Zac Harrison, a seasoned but principled convict, shares a prison cellblock with two vastly different men: the cocky pickpocket Velvet Smith, and the brutal gang leader "Brass Knuckles" Lamont. When Lamont persuades a trusty to arrange a daring prison break, Zac, sensing danger, intervenes to prevent it—too late to stop the warden from being fatally wounded by a convict named "Fade-Away". The escape fails, and while Lamont's sentence is extended, he vows revenge on Zac, whom he holds responsible for the debacle.
