書籍簡介：
未來的世界，因為地表上毒氣密佈，活下來的人們只能住在地底的巨大碉堡。地底世界有強權高壓統治，
稍有不慎違反規定，就有可能性命不保。在一片肅殺沉悶的氣氛中，還有一個恐怖的禁忌，那就是不能談論
任何有關「出去」的事，不然就會被處以極刑──被迫從那扇閘門走上去，你會瘋狂嘔吐，會肺部融化… …。
在地堡頂層的巨大螢幕，你還可以看到外面山丘上遍布的屍體。但為什麼每隔一段時間還是會有人想違反禁令走出去？

In a ruined and hostile landscape, in a future few have been unlucky enough to survive, a community exists in a giant underground silo.

Inside, men and women live an enclosed life full of rules and regulations, of secrets and lies.

To live, you must follow the rules. But some don't. These are the dangerous ones; these are the people who dare to hope and dream, and who infect others with their optimism.

Their punishment is simple and deadly. They are allowed outside.

Jules is one of these people. She may well be the last.
