The year is 2200.
The government wants complete control of the people. And, as everyone knows, the only way to have complete control is to enforce it.
One nineteen year old is tired of being a passive victim. He begins a book collection when books are illegal. He loves a girl when love is forbidden. And every night, the streets are his canvas. Literally. He takes to the streets armed with a spray can soul and plenty of paint.
Every night, he recreates the great thoughts of authors and poets. And every night, they whitewash his murals clean.
It's only a matter of time before they catch up with him.
It's only a matter of time before he has to paint the last mural.
