Synopsis by Jason Buchanan

An influential music producer awakens in a Los Angeles jail and realizes that he will have to fight if he hopes to regain his freedom in this prison drama about gender identity behind bars. Raymond Saxx Jr. (Goran Visnjic) was working with some of the biggest names in show business when he went on a reckless drug binge that would change his life forever. Coming to in K-11, the prominent producer realizes that he's been incarcerated with some of the city's most dangerous criminals after crossing paths with Mousey (Kate del Castillo), a volatile transsexual who rules the cell block with an iron fist. Meanwhile, the sadistic Lt. Johnson (D.B. Sweeney) imposes his malevolent will on a diverse collection of inmates that includes a formidable child molester (Tommy "Tiny" Lister Jr.) and a transgender youth named Butterfly (Portia Doubleday) who's in a particularly vulnerable position. In order to make it out of this hellhole alive and pick up the pieces of his broken life, Raymond attempts to assess the power structure of this strange new social hierarchy and somehow get an SOS to the outside world.
