2000s: Ariadne is trapped when a bank robbery goes wrong
Ariadne Teddington is having a bad day. Then she finds herself staring down the barrel of a gun.
Stuck in a bank robbery turned hostage situation, Ariadne keeps her head down and her mouth shut; because if there is one thing criminals hate more than the police it’s prison guards.
Trapped with a child, a policeman, and a robber on the edge, Ariadne desperately searches for a way out for them.
Can they all escape unharmed?
And when everyone is locked in, will anyone get out alive?
A fictional prison in Wales. Thank goodness it isn’t real as there’s more crime and corruption inside in than out it would seem.
There’s dodgy inmates of course, but this lot take the level of corruption and run with it. Then there’s the prison officers. Not an iota of justice between most of them here… and that’s just for starters.
The portrayal of prison life is not for the faint-hearted. You know it’s not going to be nice or easy, but this prison is more like the ones you see on Banged up Abroad. Raw, gritty and lawless on every level. You see the day to day struggles of the prisoners, the hierarchy struggles between them and the fights between the prison officers to. High ranks are everything here.
Get Locked In a bank..
Set largely in a bank which is of course fictional. It’s a hostage situation so no locations as such but you get a keen sense of what it would be like being in this kind of situation and it’s as awful as you might imagine…and worse.
