The Hostage

A Prison Riot.

A reporter in over his head.

What happens when he's taken hostage by the prisoners?

Will he be able to escape with his life?

It's 1972. The last troops are withdrawn from Vietnam. Watergate is about to break.

Jim Monaghan's drinking is out of control. His marriage is on the rocks. His job is teetering on the brink. Then the story of a lifetime falls into his lap.

A riot breaks out at the Ohio State Penitentiary and he's the first journalist on the scene.

There's only one problem. Jim is taken hostage by the prisoners and now he has to do everything in his power to get out. But will that be enough?
