Danny Mercer was once on the right side of the prison bars—a respected officer in the British prison service. But when he crossed the line for the wrong woman, everything changed. Framed, betrayed, and thrown into the same system he once enforced, Danny finds himself fighting for survival among violent inmates who hate him for being a “screw,” and officers who loathe him for being corrupt.

Inside, danger is everywhere. But the biggest shock comes when Danny is rescued from a brutal cell attack by a ghost from his past—Cyril, a feared inmate with powerful connections, and more surprisingly, a personal link to Jade—the woman who led Danny into ruin. As Cyril reveals long-hidden truths, Danny is forced to confront his own feelings and the possibility that Jade, for all her betrayals, may have truly loved him.

Facing a Crown Court trial for drug trafficking, corruption, and conspiracy to murder, Danny pleads not guilty on the grounds of duress. The prosecution tears into his defence, and with no witnesses to support his story, it seems certain he will go down. But in a dramatic courtroom twist, the doors crash open and Jade arrives—ready to testify and sacrifice herself to save him.

Her confession is damning and powerful. The jury returns a unanimous not guilty verdict for Danny. But Jade is immediately arrested for her role in the crimes.

Six years later, Danny waits outside HMP Holloway as Jade is released after serving two-thirds of her sentence. Their reunion is quiet but full of meaning. Despite all the pain, betrayal, and time lost, Danny still loves her—and now knows she always loved him too, in her own complicated way.

Screw is a gritty, emotional journey through corruption, betrayal, and redemption—where love and loyalty are tested behind bars and in the courtroom, and where survival means facing the truth, no matter the cost.
