An old man awakens, disoriented, in an unfamiliar chamber. With no memory of who he is or how he has arrived there, he pores over the relics on the desk, examining the circumstances of his confinement and searching his own hazy mind for clues.
Determining that he is locked in, the man--identified only as Mr. Blank--begins reading a manuscript he finds on the desk, the story of another prisoner, set in an unfamiliar, alternate world. As the day passes, various characters call on Mr. Blank in his cell, and each brings frustrating hints of his forgotten identity and his past.

Schlaflos, von seinen Erinnerungen und Phantasien getrieben, spinnt er sich eine Geschichte zusammen: Ein junger Mann erwacht in einem tiefen Erdloch. Schließlich befreit ihn ein Uniformierter und gibt ihm nebst einer geladenen Pistole den Auftrag, jenen alten Mann zu erschießen, dessen Kopf diese wundersam verkehrte Welt entspringt - ein Amerika im Krieg gegen sich selbst.
