In the violent country of Ludania, the language you speak determines what class you are, and there are harsh punishments if you forget your place—looking a member of a higher class in the eye can result in immediate execution.

Her only place of release is the drug-filled underground club scene, where people go to shake off the oppressive rules of the world they live in.
