The story takes place in a future where there is a mandatory rating system or Social Credit Score program for every individual in a surveillance that changes constantly based on behavior. Everyone’s status is revealed by the color of screen on their phone. It begins with a couple of men trying to avoid the cameras by wearing masks who are identified by their body movements, and they were docked points for doing so. One is accused of a “speech crime” that revealed he wanted to be individualistic and lost his job and then his apartment.
