But she soon falls in love, and this unexpected, improbable happiness throws the future into doubt. She submits to her fate by going to The Unit without protest and does not seem naturally inclined to buck authority. When Dorrit Weger arrives at the Unit, she resigns herself to this fate, seeking only peace in her final days. Dorrit can be described as very obedient. It's an idyllic place, but there's a catch: the residents?known as dispensables?must donate their organs, one by one, until the final donation. They're given lavish apartments set amongst beautiful gardens and state-of-the-art facilities they're fed elaborate gourmet meals, surrounded by others just like them.
