Dystopia on a planet where a drink that makes everyone blind is distilled from a plant. One man follows the old adage that in the land of the bind the one eyed man is king and blind everyone except a few acolytes and enslaves the blind. The protagonist is a man sent to the planet that had not been heard from recently and is blinded but rebels and violently overthrows the regime and frees the one man who had previously rebelled. The result is the opposite of what he expected.
