Description

A tense, thought-provoking pressure cooker about a young woman imprisoned in a psychiatric facility for her political views, perfect for fans of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and Girl, Interrupted. Riley Diaz is a troublemaker, born and raised. Half Irish, half Cuban, she's an orphan with the spirit and resilience of her ancestors and the protest protocols of her late parents. She's ready and able to resist the new tyrannies. After attending a protest, Riley is incarcerated in a shadowy American Renewal Center, detained under dangerous new legislation. This newly authoritarian government is trialling the mandatory re-education of dissidents, and Riley is receiving psychiatric treatment because of her politics. Riley is imprisoned in a nightmarish world of persecution and incursions on her freedom — forced therapy, involuntary medication, extended incarceration, solitary confinement, grotesquely restricted rations, false accusations and more. Trapped in an emerging dystopia, against people who would label her mad for speaking her mind, Riley can only do what she does best — rebel.
