[2] Mateo Torres, a young Latino man and fast food worker,[3] is arrested by an autonomous police drone for an unknown crime that he insists he did not commit.

He is taken to a fully automated private prison run by a company called Correcticorp, where Mateo tries and fails to get a hold of a human being.

Solitude grinds away at Mateo's sanity, and he contemplates taking the plea deal out of desperation, even though he still is unaware of his alleged crime.

[4] Just before Mateo is about to accept the plea deal, he realizes his parents have wired him money, allowing him to hire a human attorney.

As he walks free, he listens to the voicemails that have accumulated in the time he spent in jail, notifying him that he has lost his job and his home.
