Overview

Stranded On The Island ​Seven Buildings. 8 Stories. One Nightmare. ​Welcome to Rikers Island, where the only rule is survival. ​In the dark, beating heart of New York City's correctional system, innocence is a liability and violence is the only currency that matters. TA Euro delivers a raw, unfiltered look into the lives of seven individuals trapped within the notorious jail complex-each fighting a war against the inmates, the officers, and the system itself. ​Inside the barbed wire, their paths inevitably cross in a web of corruption and despair: ​Jason (RNDC): A 16-year-old first-timer handed a razor by a guard and forced to make a choice: become a victim or become a monster. ​Nicky (RMSC): A woman serving a short bid who finds herself entangled in a dangerous affair with a manipulative Correction Officer. ​Sullivan (GRVC): The ""Five Star General"" of the housing unit-a C.O. who runs the drug trade from the officer's bubble. ​Justin (OBCC): A snitch playing a deadly game of chess with the police, only to find himself checkmated by his own past. ​Khaleek & Leroy: Men crushed by a system that ignores mental health and punishes the innocent. ​Lil Sav (West Facility): A multi-platinum rapper who discovers that fame makes you a target, not a king, when the cell door closes. ​From the intake pens to the high-security blocks, Stranded On The Island is a gripping anthology of urban grit and human resilience. As their stories collide, a movement begins to rise from the ashes-one demanding that the world finally look at what happens on ""The Island."" ​The charges might be dropped, but the scars last forever.
