The Prisoner, a reinterpretation of the 1967 British cult classic, follows Michael, who after resigning from his job finds himself inexplicably trapped in The Village, a town where people have numbers instead of names. Michael (now called "Six") struggles to hold on to his identity as he engages in a battle of wits with The Village leader, Two.
