Dante 01 is the notorious
space prison orbiting the hostile planet Dante. Its six
detainees, all dangerous criminals, serve as unwilling guinea-pigs in
some highly illegal experiments. One of them, the psychopath
César, is determined to escape and plans to lead a
rebellion. His schemes are upset by the arrival of a new
prisoner, Saint Georges, who was condemned for murdering his entire
crew on a space mission. In truth, Saint Georges's crew were
killed by a strange alien force that has taken control of him and which
will soon transform Dante 01
into a vision of Hell...
