The central character is a young athlete selected for the euphemistically-named “Programme of Specialized Care,” the doping programme for Olympic hopefuls. When the young woman finds she has been doped without her knowledge, she refuses to continue; however, her mother, seeing the Olympics as their chance to emigrate, surreptitiously continues the doping.
