Prisoner
Everything you need to know about Prisoner
Moral lines are put to the test in new Sky Original thriller, Prisoner.
In this brand new series, ambitious prison transport officer Amber Todd finds herself in the middle of a battle for the criminal underworld – having to learn quickly to put her faith in someone feared by both sides of the law.
Amber has been tasked with escorting the prolific contract killer Tibor Stone to The Old Bailey to testify against his former employers - an elite crime syndicate willing to do anything to stop them.
When their transport convoy is brutally attacked, Amber handcuffs herself to Tibor to prevent his escape. As the sole survivors of the ambush, Amber and Tibor go on the run together, and must work in sync to reach court alive and on time.
Throughout the journey, their relationship twists and turns, with Amber unable to trust anyone – least of all the killer she is handcuffed to. But as everything she holds dear hangs in the balance, she must confront an impossible question: what moral lines is she willing to cross?
