Synopsis/Details
“The Last Tier”
The Last Tier is a gritty, emotionally charged prison thriller that follows Clay Harris, a correctional officer in the final months of a 22-year career inside a decaying California maximum-security prison. Haunted by trauma, disillusioned by policy failures, and drifting from his family, Clay discovers a chilling conspiracy: rival gangs have formed a secret truce and are working with corrupt staff to orchestrate a coordinated assault on officers—with drones, contraband, and insider help.
When Clay tries to expose the truth, he’s blackmailed and isolated, forced to choose between doing what’s right or protecting the ones he loves. As the riot erupts and allies fall, Clay uncovers the ultimate betrayal—the warden himself is behind it all. With one final stand, Clay sacrifices everything to bring the truth to light.
In the aftermath, a young rookie officer finds Clay’s hidden evidence—and makes the fateful choice to leak it, igniting an investigation that may finally cleanse the system Clay gave his life to.
