In the distant future, Earthlings have colonized many different types of worlds in numerous galaxies. Though technology has improved the lives of most with its incredible changes, several of the major problems that existed on late twentieth century earth remain.
Unemployment still impacts the young.
For instance, recent high school graduate Siggy Lindquist leaves her homeworld of Veil and even her galaxy to accept a janitorial job in the high tech prison on the planet Agate, where the most deadly human monsters are incarcerated. The Director assigns Siggy to work in the maximum-security block commonly known as Monster Row by the staff. Every day for the next seven years, under the direction of her boss, Siggy interacts with mass murderers Jerry Wolf, Joseph Bell, and MS-12. When Siggy is seriously injured during a prison breakout, the institute gives her a generous compensation package that allows Siggy to return to Veil and never deal with a serial killer again. She soon learns she a bit premature on the latter thought.
