The plan involves digging a tunnel beneath the prison walls and making a break for it once they reach the other side. But as the day of the escape draws near, tensions rise and Frank begins to question whether he will ever be able to clear his name and start a new life.Throughout the novel, Parkins explores themes of justice, perseverance, and the power of friendship.
