An emotionless teenage assassin in post-war London attempts to free himself from dictatorial rule with help from a princess of England. The Country dictates international policy, Keepers rip young people away from their families to transform them into lethal weapons, a place where the fundamental understanding of what constitutes a human being has been blurred beyond distinction and 20-year-old Colman Cai battles with the fact that he is a puppet of the government that created him.
