Deep underground, 39 women live imprisoned in a cage. Watched over by guards, the women have no memory of how they got there, no notion of time, and only a vague recollection of their lives before. As the burn of electric light merges day into night and numberless years pass, a young girl—the 40th prisoner—sits alone and outcast in the corner. Soon she will show herself to be the key to the others’ escape and survival in the strange world that awaits them above ground.

Elles sont quarante, enfermées dans une cave, sous la surveillance de gardiens impassibles. La plus jeune - la narratrice – n'a jamais vécu ailleurs. Si les autres femmes ne se rappellent pas comment elles sont arrivées là et n'ont aucune notion du temps, il leur reste un vague souvenir de leur vie d'avant, qu'elles lui transmettent. Mystérieusement libérées de leur geôle, elles entreprennent une longue errance à la recherche d'autres humains – ou d'une explication – sur une terre désertée.

Quarenta mulheres estão presas em uma jaula coletiva em um porão, sob a vigilância de guardas que permanecem sempre em silêncio.

Entre as prisioneiras, está uma menina sem nome que só conhece a vida lá fora através de lembranças que as outras mulheres aceitam compartilhar. É ela que conduz as demais prisioneiras em fuga, apenas para encontrarem um lugar inóspito e desconhecido.
