   Summary

   Ravenwood Correctional Facility was built to contain dangerous women, and Bette Porter was built to control them. As Warden, Bette is feared, respected, and impossible to unsettle.

   Long before Ravenwood, though, when Bette wore a deputy officer's uniform, there was another prison. A death. And a decision that was never supposed to follow her.

   But some things have a way of catching up to you, no matter how powerful you are.
