What's right is right. Sonya Kantor knows this slogan—she lived by it for most of her life. For decades, everyone in the Seattle-Portland megalopolis lived under it, as well as constant surveillance in the form of the Insight, an ocular implant that tracked every word and every action, rewarding or punishing by a rigid moral code set forth by the Delegation. Then there was a revolution. The Delegation fell. Its most valuable members were locked in the Aperture, a prison on the outskirts of the city.

Deux voix - celle d'une femme depuis longtemps partie du domaine, la mère d'Elisabeta, qui questionne ; celle du serviteur Josefino qui revit la découverte, un matin, du corps suicidé de son maître -, et un silence hanté : "Ainsi c'était déjà là. C'était là avant que de se faire. Comme dérivant à la surface d'un rêve obscur. Avant même qu'elle ait pu penser. Un jour peut-être."

Nel frattempo Nina, undici anni, viene obbligata dai genitori a tornare in psicoterapia, per superare un trauma che sei mesi prima le è quasi costato la vita e a cui tutti imputano la sua attuale insonnia. In realtà, da quando è diventata sorda, Nina è afflitta da terrificanti visioni sonore, che altro non sono che presagi di morte; le sue notti sono tormentate da incubi ambientati proprio all’interno di un pozzetto dell’acqua piovana.
