The story picks up three months after Bea killed Jacs Holt. While Bea has been languishing in the slot, Franky has risen to top dog unopposed. But the sudden arrival of new governor Joan Ferguson is about to change all that. Ferguson's mandate is to clean up Wentworth and restore order, at any cost, to the inmates and her staff. Joining the role call for the 12-part second series is Simmo, Jac Holt's second in command, who returns for the next chapter to claim her territory; Maxine Conway, a transgender inmate trying to survive unsuccessfully below the radar; Sky Pierson, an out-of-control drug addict who will stop at nothing for her next fix; and Jess Warner, Wentworth's youngest resident who's angelic demeanour belies her manipulative nature. Fletch, Will and Vera will again take up their posts as Wentworth's officers who will need to be on their guard and instincts honed to survive a new commander at the helm. Series two will leave you questioning which side of the razor wire is safer as a complex hierarchy of characters fight for survival, revenge and power who will reign supreme by the final shocking instalment?
