LOCKUP

Kian Wake was a young aspiring musician in New York City, but he was always under his older brother's shadow. Until one day, he made his own headline, though perhaps not for the best reason.
When celebrating his 18th birthday party, one of his childhood friends from his hometown slum of a neighborhood brought several pounds of illicit drugs such as cocaine and heroin in hopes of making a reasonable profit off Kian's high profile friends. Kian was very unaware of this and when one of his neighbors called the police on a noise complaint, police noted one of the party goers passed out and having a seizure from a heroin overdose.
Upon discovery of the drugs in his apartment, Kian was arrested. Since he wouldn't tell them who supplied the drugs he was sentenced to two years on Riker's Island, one of America's worst prisons.

LOCKUP is the story of survival and the many things Kian underwent while inside. Gangs, fights, and riots. LOCKUP provides a very real look at what the life of a prisoner is like.
