    Wealthy businessman William Falcone offers to pay Elena a fortune of money for breaking Ethan Ford, an innocent man, out of a prison infamously named HMP Iron Gate. She accepts because she wants both the money and to "do the right thing." However, she regrets part of her decision when she realizes that Falcone has betrayed her, as he did to many other mercenaries-for-hire. She is taken to Iron Gate and receives a warm welcome from Ethan himself and his best friend Connor Moss, but a criminally flirtatious welcome from the other prisoners. One inmate tries to rape her, but she breaks his arm and slices off his testicles, threatening to do the same to every other inmate that have taken an interest in her if they try a similar attempt; this earns her respect from Ethan and Connor, as well as the few honest guards including James Evans, while it causes the other inmates and guards to fear her.

    After saving James from an inmate who held him at gunpoint, Elena gains his trust and friendship, and is granted both overseer duties and the title "prisoner of trust." James deduces the jailbreak plans and reveals that he dislikes Creed for his corruption; he agrees to help them as he knows Ethan and Connor are innocent. James asks Elena why she became a mercenary; she replies " My husband was a mercenary who was eventually murdered in front of me... I miss that stubborn f--ker." She reveals that her husband's murder motivated her to become the efficient mercenary she is.

    Edward Reed, a corrupt guard loyal to the warden, eavesdrops on them and attempts to sound the alarm, but James catches up to him and breaks his neck; he frames the prisoner who tried to rape Elena as the man who orchestrated the killing, and the inmate is put on death row. During her overseer duties, Elena is confronted by Creed, who seemingly kills her. However, when she is buried, Ethan secretly reveals to James that the body is a dummy, indicating that Elena is still alive and will now be incognito upon the escape.

    Creed, who has deduced the jailbreak plans, confronts the group, only for Elena to reappear and kill the guards behind him, saving him for last. Telling the group to run and hide, Elena fights the warden alone in a violent gunfight; Creed overpowers her and impales her abdomen, but she survives and reveals that she let him stab her. She then subsequently shoots him twice, fatally, before he reveals himself as the man who not only framed Ethan, but the man who killed Elena's husband. She then shoots him in his head as vengeance for her husband. Upon reaching the river next to the prison, Elena refuses to go with the group, as she decides she must do "one last thing...", and she bids an emotional farewell to Ethan. James takes Ethan and Connor away at Elena's behest, while Elena herself sneaks inside the warden's office with Creed's audio recorder, which was turned off upon his death. She leaves his dragged body there with a paper written down demanding the truth to be revealed to the authorities.
