Stepping Out of Line
Description
In a world where everything is controlled by the government, everything must be done exactly in the same way and at the same time.
Nothing is allowed to be different.
No one is allowed to stand out as an individual.
Dare to be different and the penalty is death.
Take one step out of the line and the government will shoot you down.
Moon Jongup is tired of being oppressed. He wants to live his life out the way he wants, not the way the government wants. So when he overhears two college students planning to break out of the system, a spark of hope is lit up inside him.
He wants a revolution.
So do they.
But freedom is not what everything seems.
