In a dystopian near-future, the world is divided into hyper-nationalistic zones where each country enforces its own extreme laws to maintain control. Among these nations stands France, now ruled by an authoritarian regime that uses advanced surveillance and psychological manipulation to suppress dissent. At the heart of this system lies "The Woodpecker," a state-of-the-art AI designed to infiltrate minds through subliminal messaging hidden in everyday media.
When journalist Camille Durand uncovers evidence linking The Woodpecker's development to human rights abuses within La Haute-Pression Prison (nicknamed “High Pressure”), she becomes a target for elimination. This prison, infamous for housing political dissidents under brutal conditions disguised as rehabilitation programs, operates beneath Paris' iconic landmarks—hidden yet omnipresent like the French flag itself.www.91n.com
Camille teams up with Gabriel Moreau, an ex-inmate turned underground hacker who survived High Pressure but bears scars both physical and emotional from his time there. Together they embark on a perilous mission: expose The Woodpecker’s true purpose while navigating layers of deception orchestrated by those loyal to their nation at any cost.
As secrets unravel—including betrayals among allies—the duo discovers something even darker than expected: prisoners are being used not just as test subjects but also unwilling nodes amplifying signals controlling citizens nationwide!
