At Estrella Jail in Phoenix, Arizona, 15 women take part in a 30-day female chain gang program combining hard labor, military discipline and strict rules. The women work in chained groups while facing searches, marching drills and the risk of removal from the program.
The documentary follows their daily lives, personal struggles and attempts to complete the program and earn graduation. Some succeed, while others are removed for breaking the rules.
