N17, codenamed Pokerface, is a young male prisoner held in a secluded facility alongside three inmates and a cat. His story unfolds when a sudden power outage unlocks all cells, thrusting him into a chaotic scenario where guards and exits have mysteriously vanished. The narrative hinges on tense group dynamics, particularly reactions to an elderly inmate whose erratic actions trigger a critical turning point.

N17’s uniform, marked with his alphanumeric identifier, underscores themes of identity and systemic anonymity within the facility. The story omits personal history or motives, instead fixating on his immediate choices and alliances during the crisis. While the purpose of the prisoners’ numerical designations remains unclarified, they suggest an institutionalized structure central to the setting.

The confined scope of the narrative restricts N17’s arc to the aftermath of the lockdown breach, leaving his past and future ambiguous as the unresolved incident concludes.
