She must go undercover at a high-security prison as a new inmate to gain the trust of a notorious drug lord named Raul, who is currently serving time for his criminal activities.

As Nikita works to get closer to Raul, she comes across one of his trusted associates, an inmate named Garcia, who seems to be the key to her success. Together, they devise a plan to smuggle drugs into the prison to gain the favor of Raul.
However, things quickly spiral out of control when a riot breaks out within the prison, leaving Nikita and Garcia in a life-threatening situation. As they fight to stay alive, Nikita realizes that her mission may be compromised and she must find a way to complete it before it's too late.
