The series is a feminist send-up of the exploitation film genre that takes place in a dystopian reality where non-compliant women are sent to an off-planet prison.[1][2] DeConnick described the creation of the book as being "born of a deep and abiding love for exploitation and women in prison movies of the ’60s and ’70s."[3]

The first issue was published in December of 2014 by Image Comics.[4]
