The Inmate

As Brooke Sullivan begins her new role as a nurse practitioner at a maximum-security prison, she is well aware of the essential rules: treat all prisoners with respect, never reveal personal information, and most crucially, never become too friendly with the inmates. However, these guidelines become a complex web of deceit for Brooke, who harbours a secret from her past that threatens to unravel the fabric of her carefully constructed life.

Hidden within the austere walls of the penitentiary is Shane Nelson, a once golden boy, now one of the prison’s most notorious inmates. Shane was the high school quarterback, a figure of admiration and promise, but he has been condemned to a life sentence for a series of brutal murders. Unbeknownst to Brooke's colleagues, her past is intricately entwined with Shane's fate—he was her high school sweetheart, and it was her damning testimony that led to his conviction.

As Brooke navigates her role amidst the tensions and dangers of the prison, the terrifying reality begins to unfold: Shane remembers everything. The connection they once shared and the betrayal that followed have not waned from his memory. With every encounter, Shane manipulates the fine line between redemption and revenge, dragging Brooke into a psychological game where the stakes are perilously high.
