Synopsis
Matt Hart wakes up to find himself a prisoner in the perfect prison. At first he doesn’t understand why the only other prisoner won’t talk to him, until he learns that their dominatrix captor is forcing them to exercise and spar for a single purpose: they’re going to fight to the death. The winner will be allowed to leave.
With the help of the Mistress’s reluctant assistant and nurse, Matt tries to convince his cellmate that if the three of them work together they can outwit the Mistress, only to discover she’s far more cunning than he thought…
