Wrongfully convicted architect Marcus Webb has spent three years inside Riverside Correctional, counting days and quietly studying its structure. What looks like self-improvement is something else entirely: a blueprint. As Marcus uncovers deep corruption tied to the prison’s warden, he begins assembling a dangerous plan involving five inmates—each chosen for a specific skill. Under the guise of an escape attempt, Marcus sets events in motion that test loyalty, morality, and the limits of justice. The Broken System is a tense, cerebral thriller about power, manipulation, and whether breaking the rules is sometimes the only way to fix them.
