Tarek Fahd is making a living as a taxi driver, but he can't pass up the opportunity for extra cash to engage in a social experiment. Twenty participants will be randomly assigned the roles of prisoners and guards and asked to recreate the atmosphere of a prison. Everyone is told they're allowed to leave at any time, and the actual rules of the prison are comparatively mild, but the participants are soon taking the experiment to extraordinary and extreme measures. And as tensions begin to break down between the participants, things begin to spiral out of control and become increasingly violent.
