In a future world, the "new humans" suddenly begin to destroy themselves en masse. Klaus, a soldier from the lowest, "primitive" stratum of society, is dispatched to an island prison to seek help from Theodore—a brilliant scientist held in captivity. Their relationship evolves from one of fearful confrontation and humiliating entanglement to a complex, twisted, yet genuine bond, forged as they uncover each other’s hidden vulnerabilities and inner struggles. In the end, Theodore chooses self-destruction to put an end to the tyranny of the new humans, leaving behind a world of peace for Klaus.
