Thomas wakes up in an elevator that is slowly going up. When he finally stops and open the hatch, he learns that went to Gaza inhabited by Streferów. It's a huge fenced clearing high, concrete wall. The boy does not remember anything - who he is, where he comes from, how he got there. He does not know who his parents are and what his name is.
Nobody knows how he arrived to Gaza. Every morning, the walls of the wall is spreading apart, opening the labyrinth, which closes at sunset. Every month the Gaza comes a new boyfriend. The appearance of Thomas is not surprising, but when a week later the elevator overlooks Teresa, things get complicated. This is the first girl who was in the Zone.
Each Strefer has a role - is responsible for planting, construction or a scout, trying to determine the construction of the Labyrinth, which changes every night. Scouts are fighting against time and overcome the longest route until it gets dark, the walls will close, and Bóldożercy come out from their hiding places.
Although Thomas is "świeżuchem" Labyrinth and Gaza seem suspiciously familiar to him. In his mind lies the key to solving the mystery of the mysterious place.

I wrote a novel adventure, the message is hope and the strength of the human spirit. "
