The Security Housing Unit houses the hardest criminals inside MARQUEZAS PRISON, located in the swamps of Mexico's State of Cormelos. It is one of the last true medieval maximum-security penal farms in the country. Everyday prisoners are led out in chain gangs to work the swamps and untamed bayous, festered with poisonous snakes and alligators. Kyle Lord is a petroleum engineer, arrested in Mexico City and sentenced to MARQUEZAS for the vigilante killing of his wife's rapist/murderer. Given the circumstances, Kyle might have been acquitted on the grounds of temporary insanity or perhaps even convicted of the lesser charge of manslaughter, but the fact that a Federal Policeman was also killed in the shooting, albeit accidentally, sent Kyle to MARQUEZAS. General Battista is the warden of MARQUEZAS. He has orchestrated a perverse sport where prisoners fight, sometime to the death for the entertainment and profit of he and his cronies. The inmates call it "The Shu". Racial bigotry, violence and corruption thrive in places like MARQUEZAS. It is where common criminals become hardened. They become the most dreaded monsters of our imagination. It is only natural for "The Shu" to flourish under the care of corrupt and powerful men like Battista. It is only natural that only the most violent and powerful survive "The Shu". Some, like the inmate philosopher, 451, see the evil of their ways and repent, doing the best to keep their humanity. 451 tries to help Kyle adjust to this unfamiliar and violent world but Kyle is a man destined to fight his own battles. Thus, it is only natural that Kyle begins a steady decline towards becoming one of the monsters he despises. As he struggles for his humanity, he fights his oppressors and is quickly sent to "The Shu" where his unbridled rage catapults him to the victor's circle. Kyle's decline into a "living hell" is part of a journey to that thing we all battle within our selves.
