A lightweight, silly sitcom that mines gentle laughs from awkward young men floundering in prison.

Once there, Luke finds himself in difficult situations and becomes reliant on Jason's street knowledge; unfortunately, Jason's advice proves useless. Under the watchful eye of prison officer Dawn and her colleague, Greg, the lads adjust to life on the inside.
