Ale Darrow a jeho lid byli podvedeni - lidstvo se na povrch dostalo již velmi dávno, po planetě se roztahují velká města a rozlehlé parky a Rudí nejsou pro dekadentní vládnoucí třídu nic než otroci. Hnán touhou po spravedlnosti i vzpomínkou na svou ztracenou lásku, Darrow obětuje vše, aby infiltroval legendární Institut, místo zkoušek pro dominantní kastu Zlatých.
