When mechanic Julia leaves the Ministry of Love after several months of torture, she's no longer the same. She settles in her old room and starts a new job at a factory. She decides to forget everything about the resistance and her lover Winston. However, during an ordinary evening, she receives a mysterious communication via her telescreen. It's from another continent, Eurasia. She is asked to make contact and provide secret information on one of the most notorious Thought Police officers - O'Brien. In exchange, they offer a safe passage to escape Big Brother and reach Eurasia. If she succeeds, she will have a new life but if she fails, she will meet a punishment that is worse than death.
