Dee is convicted after what is described as a bogus or unjust trial and resists execution while seeking the truth about her stepsister’s death.
Executions are streamed through an app and presented to the public as entertainment, with professional killers carrying them out.
Give particular attention to detailed killings, execution imagery, wrongful imprisonment and the spectacle of audiences watching violence. The treatment is described as campy, suspenseful and entertaining as well as disturbing.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: some draft conclusions still depend on unresolved evidence.
Anything not established here remains open; it is not being treated as absent or safe.
