In a prison not found on any maps, freedom is an illusion... Like hope, no such thing. Inmates condemned to die every way imaginable, human identity taken from them. Overseers escape scot-free with unspeakable horrors, oligarchs run prison like police state ...Who are overseers? All-powerful group, the Watchers Nobody defies Watchers and lives to tell about it, they crack down on dissent. Like fellow inmates, the protagonist is referenced by number lieu of name. Prisoner ID 21411, 21411 for short, imprisoned the longest... 6 years, give or take. No hope, no freedom... They languish in their cell, waiting to die. Watchers are fine-tuned machine, system hasn't crashed since prison began... Not anymore. Behind closed doors, someone schemes resistance... Defies Watchers and lives to tell about it. Resistance dismantles fine-tuned machine, power of the people trumps people in power. 21411 aids resistance, unwitting accomplice isn't unwilling... Hope blossoms.
