Walter invited eleven acquaintances to a luxurious woodland estate for a week of leisure. Each guest is a friend from a different stage of Walter’s life, assigned a specific title like the Artist, the Accountant, or the Scientist. While they enjoy the secluded lakehouse, social media feeds reveal that a global apocalypse is incinerating the rest of civilization. Walter reveals he is an extraterrestrial entity responsible for the destruction, claiming he saved this specific group out of personal affection. The guests find themselves trapped in a high-tech sanctuary where their physical needs are met, but they remain prisoners of a monster who demands their friendship while the world burns.

Readers finish the volume with a detailed look at the architecture of a gilded cage and a clinical study of survivor’s guilt.
