Quentin is a policeman, Rennes is a thief, Leaven is a brilliant math student, Holloway is a psychologist and Kazan is an autistic boy. Then there's Worth, an architect who claims that he has participated to the construction of that same room. Gradually they realize the room is part of a larger cube, which contains in turn many other cubical rooms. Looking for a way out, the group is sorely tested by numerous pitfalls, hidden paths and dangers.
