The old and overcrowded penitentiaries are just a memory. Inmates now serve their sentence in a state of deep sleep that renders them harmless, and has drastically reduced recidivism... Until one day, David Damiani, a psychologist in charge of monitoring the mental state of inmates, finds himself confronted with a prisoner over whom he has lost all control.
