The Regime is the perfect human extermination mechanism. His weapon is the Security agents, and their relentlessly square logic. His weapon, too, is the persistent distinction only between followers and enemies.
The citizen who is suspected of plotting against the Regime must get out of the way. And after the only prosecution (or defense) witness is murdered by the agents themselves, the Plan is put into action: the citizen will be treated with supposedly friendly human behavior to break or escape while being transported for questioning in order to prove the his guilt and to be justifiably exterminated by the Security.
During the journey, however, the inhuman rationality and the mathematical concept of the Regime and Security will be faced with an unexpected: a mistake. The citizen and one of the agents unintentionally manage to share indescribably human moments; a walk, the beach, a ball, the amusement park.
Is a grain of humanity enough to short-circuit the relentless perfection of the regime's Plan and machinery of extermination?
