Synopsis
You've all heard the story many times before—the one about the girl who overcomes violence and tragedy to lead her world to revolution.
This is not that story.
This is the story of an ordinary family: a mother who tortures confessions from rebels for a living, and a daughter torn between family and rebellion. This is the story of an ordinary world, where every day parents go off to work and kids go off to school and dissidents are taken away in the middle of the night and never seen again. This is the story of an ordinary girl, who doesn't have the power to singlehandedly right the world's wrongs—but chooses to fight anyway.
This is the truth behind every dystopian story: that even the darkest world seems normal when you've never known anything else.
