    Brief synopsis

    The year is 2036, and there is now a new way to relieve the overcrowded prisons. Convicts must compete against guards in Ball 13 (The Billiards of the Future) and nothing less than their lives are at stake. This is also the case for number 13, inmate of the State Women's Prison, who also has to face her past in this game.
