The story follows a renowned anthropologist who is grieving the loss of his wife. He is invited by a powerful corporation to participate in a peculiar experiment: living for a week in a meticulous recreation of a 1980s German village.

The twist is that most of the village's inhabitants are androids, virtually indistinguishable from humans. The protagonist is tasked with identifying the few "real" humans hidden among them.
