In the near future, a surveillance state has overtaken the earth. The hostile government of a city conducts experiments on people of the lower socioeconomic class. Franklin, once a bank robber, is experimented on during his time in prison. As a result of this, he is constantly hallucinating throughout his life because of what the scientists did to his brain. He is searching for a cure for an operation he's not sure really happened, all the while having to guess what is real and what isn't, or whether he's just living in a dreamland.
