Welcome to hell – a.k.a Belle Reve, the prison with the highest mortality rate in the USA. Where the worst supervillains are kept and where they will do anything to get out – even join the super-secret, super-shady Task Force X. The do-or-die mission? The team, including Bloodsport, Peacemaker, Captain Boomerang, Ratcatcher 2, Savant, King Shark, Blackguard, Javelin and Harley Quinn. They are then all given weaponry and dropped on the remote, enemy-infused island of Corto Maltese. If they successfully complete the mission, they will all get ten years off their prison sentences.
