In the near future, the Military Service becomes mandatory again for everyone who is sixteen. This experience involves many things, but there is one that everyone is afraid of: The Desert, the worst place you can be sent to. No one knows where it is, they only know that it is arid and isolated. The most rebel teenagers are sent there, those who the State considers to be future parasites.
Aitor is forced to do the Military Service in this inhospitable place, and there he meets Oriol, a mysterious boy that will change his life forever. Together they will face the schemes and tortures of The Desert in order to reveal the terrible hidden truth of this military camp. Will they be able to end the Military Service and discover its secrets?
