Silo 42 has a secret.
There are 50 Silos in total. None know the others exist. They live in isolation, under the illusion they are the only humans still alive on Earth, protected by their sophisticated underground micro-universe for centuries, while they wait for the harsh outside conditions and aftermath of the Great War to subside.
However, life in Silo 42 is more sustainable than the others. Energy resources have been updated. Creativity, freedom, and transparency have created the conditions for its people to thrive. All positive indicators for Silo health. But that was never the true intention of the Silo project. The Pact, written by the original builders, requires absolute conformity to the original plan.
Silo 1 Head, Donald Keene, is growing increasingly concerned about the data he is receiving from Silo 42. They are either…dying or flourishing. Either way, it’s not acceptable. The time is quickly approaching when Silo 42 may be forced to save itself from the overly controlling rules of the Pact or face extinction. Ahotay Lathrop, Silo 42 Head, knows that Silo 1 is watching its every move. The time will come when he must make the decision to protect the future of their Silo and the 10,000 souls who call it home.
Can they outwit Donald Keene and Silo 1, and avoid certain erasure from the Silo grid?
