His bed, this meager cot, with its navy-blue ticking, was a place he both hated and would defend to the death because it was his. Thirty-eight years to look forward to staring at that same ragged seam across the ceiling they hadn’t even taken the time to trowel smooth when they built this godforsaken prison. Time there was measured in years still left to serve.

Because of all he did not possess, other than a bundle of letters, this was something he had plenty of. Immeasurable minutes of his life had been spent with his eyes affixed on the thing while contemplating his time. His eyes traced the stone seam, and by now, he knew every bump and divot of the rugged line. Prisoner 793 lay on his cot in his cell, staring up at the rough joint that drew a harsh line across the concrete ceiling. Prisoner is a different kind of love story, where a mystery waits to unfold.

When Ryan believes he has nothing left to lose, escape from prison becomes the only option. Spurring him on are memories of his past, his one love, who he met in juvie, and the driving desire for freedom. While serving his sentence, an attack sets off a chain of events and forces Ryan to speed up the timeline on an insane escape plan.
