She
hears her own thick voice deep inside her ears when she says, 'I need
to know where I am.' The man stands there, tall and narrow, hand still
on the doorknob, surprised. He says, almost in sympathy, 'Oh, sweetie.
You need to know what you are.'
Two women awaken from a
drugged sleep to find themselves imprisoned in a broken-down property in
the middle of a desert. Strangers to each other, they have no idea
where they are or how they came to be there with eight other girls,
forced to wear strange uniforms, their heads shaved, guarded by two
inept yet vicious armed jailers and a 'nurse'. The girls all have
something in common, but what is it? What crime has brought them here
from the city? Who is the mysterious security company responsible for
this desolate place with its brutal rules, its total isolation from the
contemporary world?
Doing hard labour under a sweltering sun, the
prisoners soon learn what links them: in each girl's past is a sexual
scandal with a powerful man. They pray for rescue - but when the food
starts running out it becomes clear that the jailers have also become
the jailed. The girls can only rescue themselves.
