A volunteer arrives back from working in a refugee camp to discover she is now an ＂enemy of the people.＂ Arrested and imprisoned for her actions, the only way to maintain her sanity in a world turned upside down is to discover the identity of the mysterious interrogator from her past.

A psychological thriller set in a Kafkaesque world that interrogates the language of ’othering’ and the stories we tell ourselves to justify violence, The Story asks, is mental torture worse than physical? And how long can we last before our loyalty - and sanity - splinters and snaps?
