In a rigidly ordered future state that has outlawed feeling itself, citizens are pacified by a mandatory drug and any flicker of emotion is met with execution. A high-ranking enforcer, the regime's deadliest agent, accidentally misses a dose and begins to feel for the first time, awakening to the horror of the world he polices. His awakening pulls him toward rebellion and the machinery he once served. Kurt Wimmer's dystopian thriller fuses Orwellian bleakness with balletic gunplay, introducing the invented martial art of gun kata in a stylish, idea-driven cult favorite.
