A boat carrying female prisoners sentenced to serve time at Devil's Island arrives at the penal colony, with one of the women hoping to find her missing sister. The new inmates quickly are indoctrinated into the ways of the prison, with the guards and officials using and abusing the prisoners for their benefit or pleasure. A new administrator arrives at the prison and begins to make reforms on the treatment of the prisoners, which doesn't set well with the old staff, but the man may not actually be what he appears to be.
