Sam fa la guardia carceraria. Non per scelta ma quasi per caso, dopo aver fallito l’addestramento militare. Vive giornate tutte uguali, con una vena violenta che cerca di tenere sotto controllo e una depressione non diagnosticata. Ma un’occasione inaspettata lo conduce a Clearwell, una struttura di quarantena nel nord degli Stati Uniti. È stata costruita di recente, per ospitare gli individui di cui tutti parlano di continuo alla radio, in tv, sui social: i cosiddetti profeti.

À Dublin, un soir de pluie, deux hommes frappent à la porte d’Eilish Stack. Membres d’une toute nouvelle police secrète – le GNSB –, ils demandent à s’entretenir avec son mari, enseignant et syndicaliste, mais celui-ci est absent. Larry se rend au commissariat dès le lendemain, puis disparaît dans des circonstances troublantes. Tandis que le malaise s’installe peu à peu, Eilish voit son quotidien et celui de ses quatre enfants amputés d’une liberté qu’elle tenait pour acquise.
