In the 2040s, twenty years after World War III, Spain faces radiation, disease, and extreme shortages. Under a despotic government, Madrid is separated into two sectors. In one, the wealthy and powerful live in safety and luxury. In the other, the remainder of the population lives in squalor, terrified by forced disappearances.
