By:
Dorrit Weger is checked into the Second Reserve Bank Unit, where women over the age of fifty and men over sixty that are single, childless, and without jobs in progressive industries are kept for their final years. The conditions sound ruthless, as they are expected to contribute towards drug and psychological testing and donate their organs, a bit at a time, until their final donation, but Dorrit finds her situation pleasant and peaceful enough. However, when she meets a man and falls in love, there is uncertainty. Comply or escape, and if escape, then what?
