Ada lives a solitary life in London. She spends her days swimming in her apartment building's basement pool, occasionally visiting her cousin, meeting people for drinks, ignoring invitations. Ada's parents are recently divorced. Her father is always training at the gym, warm with human proximity. Her mother spends her days alone. When she meets a man named Atticus by the pool, Ada immediately senses an intimate connection between them, as if they share a life in a way she can't explain. Little by little, Ada's estrangement from all that is familiar to her widens, as though she is seeing her reflection through a mirror, pieces of it falling away. She worries she may be losing her mind. Eventually, Ada's attachment to her world and her body itself fails completely. She is jolted into a new, artificial environment - The Facility - apparently created and designed just for her.
