An experienced, exemplary prison guard, Melissa transfers to a remote Corsican jail and finds herself drawn into a dangerous spiral when she accepts help and protection from inmate Saveriu. What begins as a pragmatic pact to survive the island’s rigid hierarchies and simmering violence quickly erodes the boundaries between duty and dependency, pulling her into a world of moral compromises and shifting loyalties.
As secrets and tensions rise, Melissa must navigate power plays among inmates and staff while confronting the claustrophobic realities of life behind bars. Tense and atmospheric, Borgo examines the cost of protection, the fragility of authority, and the thin line that separates control from vulnerability.
