The protagonist of the story finds themselves in a mysterious situation after being brought into an unknown Zone. Upon arrival, their bags are confiscated, and they are thoroughly searched before being put into a group of 25 individuals. The group is then transported in the back of a van to a small field surrounded by a dry stone wall, where they are introduced to a woman named Guide. The protagonist and their group are told to follow Guide to the hub where they will be working from. The walk to the hub takes around 8 hours, and Guide refuses to answer most questions about the situation.
Upon arriving at the hub, the protagonist is disappointed to find a small building with cramped living quarters and limited amenities. The hub consists of cramped bunk rooms, basic shower and toilet facilities, and a small common room with limited entertainment options. The protagonist and their group wait for the arrival of the Barkeep, who they are told will provide them with a full briefing about their new job.

The author uses vivid descriptions of the surroundings and the protagonist's experiences to draw readers into the mysterious situation and create a sense of tension and intrigue. The lack of information provided to the protagonist and the reader adds to the story's suspense and makes it difficult to predict what will happen next.
