Jackal Segura, groomed as the hope child of her corporate-controlled island nation, has her future destroyed by a devastating secret. Convicted of a crime, she’s offered a choice: prison or an experimental virtual solitary confinement that compresses years into months. What she experiences inside changes her forever.
