When successful record producer Jay Richmond, is jailed for suspicion of murder, he is assigned to the most bizarre unit in all of L.A. county lock up. K-11 houses the dregs of the inmate class - transvestites, transsexuals, and the occasional high profile celebrity - prisoners who wouldn't be safe anywhere else in the system. Jay's own incarceration there forces him to endure the alien culture and the dangerous politics of Officer Johnson and cellblock leader Mousie.
