Nick Jackson non è un vero criminale ma un ribelle che non si piega davanti a nessuno. Ha un carattere intrattabile ed è anche per questo che finisce in un campo di lavoro. Soprannominato dagli altri prigionieri "mano fredda" per la sua imperturbabilità, ha un talento per mettersi nei guai, perchè Nick è un detenuto che non può sottostare alle regole arbitrarie del penitenziario.
