When the orphanage they live in is closed, Pax and a younger boy, Kai, are forced to live on the streets. Desperate to make enough money to send Kai to school, Pax does jobs for a shady character known only as Mister. When Pax is given a "special mission"-- to deliver a heavy box to a certain location-- Pax winds up charged with terrorism and plunged into a brutal prison environment where his captors will do anything to make him talk.
