Welcome to Rikers Island, where the only rule is survival.
In the dark, beating heart of New York City's correctional system, innocence is a liability and violence is the only currency that matters. TA Euro delivers a raw, unfiltered look into the lives of seven individuals trapped within the notorious jail complex-each fighting a war against the inmates, the officers, and the system itself.
Inside the barbed wire, their paths inevitably cross in a web of corruption and despair:
Jason (RNDC): A 16-year-old first-timer handed a razor by a guard and forced to make a choice: become a victim or become a monster.
Nicky (RMSC): A woman serving a short bid who finds herself entangled in a dangerous affair with a manipulative Correction Officer.
Sullivan (GRVC): The ""Five Star General"" of the housing unit-a C.O. who runs the drug trade from the officer's bubble.
Justin (OBCC): A snitch playing a deadly game of chess with the police, only to find himself checkmated by his own past.
Khaleek & Leroy: Men crushed by a system that ignores mental health and punishes the innocent.
Lil Sav (West Facility): A multi-platinum rapper who discovers that fame makes you a target, not a king, when the cell door closes.
From the intake pens to the high-security blocks, Stranded On The Island is a gripping anthology of urban grit and human resilience. As their stories collide, a movement begins to rise from the ashes-one demanding that the world finally look at what happens on ""The Island.""
The charges might be dropped, but the scars last forever.
