After the world survives the outbreak of a global catastrophe, a new society – Arcadia - emerges. Because resources are scarce in this new world, a citizen score is being introduced. It determines your rights and entitlements. People are forced to stay healthy, focused and efficient. We follow the life of a family and focus on their four daughters: Luz, Milly, Alex, and Hanna. They all have excellent scores and are living The Arcadian Dream. Only the youngest daughter, Luz, is a little bit ‘different’. She lives in her own world.
Her father, Pieter, fears she doesn’t stand a chance in this ruthless new world: the government has imposed a minimum score, an impossible goal for Luz, who is autistic. Fail to make the grade and the punishment is exile to the Outer World, beyond the walls of Arcadia. You’re on your own, and survival is brutally hard. To protect Luz, Pieter develops an illegal program that tampers with the citizen score algorithm, artificially inflating her results. When his crime is discovered, he is deported, banished from Arcadia. The women are penalized, their scores are drastically lowered, and they are placed under permanent surveillance. Can they regain their security, or has an irreversible downward spiral begun?
