In the near future, the United States government has operationalized MS One, an experimental space prison housing the world's most dangerous criminals in stasis. When Emilie Warnock, the president's daughter, arrives at MS One to investigate claims of prisoner mistreatment, her humanitarian mission quickly spirals into chaos. An inmate manages to escape and release the other prisoners, leading to a hostile takeover. Emilie and the staff are taken hostage, leaving the authorities on Earth scrambling for a solution to the volatile situation unfolding in orbit.

Down on Earth, a former government agent and convicted felon, Snow, is offered a deal for his freedom in exchange for infiltrating MS One and rescuing Emilie. Despite his cavalier and insubordinate demeanor, Snow's skills make him the ideal candidate for the mission. He reluctantly agrees and is covertly sent to the space prison. Upon arriving, Snow navigates the anarchic environment, filled with violent inmates and deteriorating order. His wit and combat abilities serve him as he seeks to find Emilie and bring her back to Earth safely, all while uncovering a conspiracy that led to his own incarceration.
