Alex Sawyer convicted of a murder he didn't commit is now in "Furnace" an underground prison for young felons. He is now a "New Fish" at Furnace and the Skulls are giving him a hard time. Donovan, Alex's room mate and Zee, another friend can't take living in Furnace anymore when they see a bunch of innocent people killed during the Blood Watch. The Blood Watch is when they randomly choose someone to execute. More New Fish, Ashley, Toby, and Gary arrive. Gary is a big guy and after he broke the Skulls leader's wrist, Gary took over. Things are so bad at furnace that Ashley and Toby try to take their own lives by jumping over a railing. Will they succeed? Finally, they have found a way to escape. They will escape by shoving gloves full of gas into room2 and blowing it up. Room2 caves in and leaves a crack in the rock floor which leads to a river underground. One more day till they escape. It's a restless night for Alex, but finally he falls asleep. Suddenly he wakes up to the noise of a siren and red lights flashing and then he sees a man in a mask and he marks an X on their cell door...Blood Watch. This means it will be one of them next. Which person will they take Alex or Donovan? Will they go on with the escape plan if one of them gets taken? And most importantly will they make it??
