In this specific installment, the stakes become personal. Ray Breslin and his team are forced to rescue a Hong Kong tech mogul's daughter from a formidable Latvian prison known as "Devil’s Station." The villain, a prison designer named Lester Clark Jr., has a vendetta against Breslin and traps him and his loved ones inside his "escape-proof" facility. The film shifts focus slightly from the "intellectual puzzle" aspect of the first movie towards more straightforward action and combat sequences.
