Fletcher, a criminal serving a five-year sentence, navigates the challenges of prison life, determined to maintain a clean record and avoid being broken by the system.
Norman Stanley Fletcher is sentenced to 5 years at HM prison Slade in darkest Cumbria, where he takes on a naive cell mate Lenny Godber and teaches him the ways of the prison, including skiving and scams. Meanwhile, prison officer Mr. Mackay tries to maintain order, but is often thwarted by the cunning of Fletcher and the vulnerability of Mr. Barroclough, who is easily taken advantage of.
