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.
