Years after an apocalyptic event, a powerful AI-driven supercomputer called “The Great C” rules over the remnants of humanity. Each year the village is forced to send a young person on a pilgrimage to “report” to The Great C; a journey from which no one ever returns. Clare finds her life turned upside down when her fiancé is summoned for this year’s report. Now she must decide whether to accept the rules of this world or fight for something more important.

根据短篇《一个废物艺术家的供状》（Confessions of a Crap Artist）改编。它不是一部科幻作品，更像是充满了混乱的PKD自传。
