In a vast nation of orphans, one couple's decision to kidnap their own infant daughter threatens the very existence of their society.

Eighty years into the future, former soldier Owen and beautiful computer programmer Claire are brought together by the government's Coupling Program for the singular purpose of creating new citizens for the neo-communist Nation. As their relationship develops and they start to validate each other's worries and societal skepticism, both Owen and Claire begin to question the values of the emotionally cold yet highly functional society that has raised them.

When they set into action a plan to keep their newborn child, they are pursued on one side by a sociopathic government tracker, and unexpectedly aided on the other side by one of the government's highest ranking officials. The fate of their seemingly great Nation hangs in the balance.
