The Producers Speak:
- Jeri Taylor says: "This is a hard-hitting show with a great deal of
action. But at the heart, I hope it is a buddy story, a bonding of
two people, and an initiation of one of them under the harshest of
circumstances. I believe that, under the cruelty, there is a
message of the power of love."
While on an Akritirian planet, Paris and Kim are believed to be
members of the Open Sky terrorist group and are arrested, tried, and
convicted of planting a trilithium-based bomb. Before they know it,
they are piled into a dark, impenetrable prison at the end of a
mysterious chute. Kim tries to devise an escape and protect a severely
injured Paris who has been stabbed by a ranting prisoner. But they
realize that, like each crazed inmate, they are fitted with a clamp
which causes each man to slowly kill one another. Meanwhile, Janeway
tries to prove their innocence.
