Roj Blake is a citizen of the Federation, and is generally supportive of the government. One day a friend leads him outside the city to a meeting for political dissidents, where he is told that he was one of them, but he had been caught, brainwashed, forced to renounce the dissidents publicly, and then made to forget. The Federation also had his family executed, and the tapes he gets from them every once in a while are fakes. He is shocked and doesn't seem to believe them, so he wanders off, and hides when Federation troopers arrive. The unarmed dissidents attempt to surrender, but are slaughtered.
While reentering the city, Blake is captured and is taken to have his memories altered. The psychologist successfully makes him unable to remember what happened, but those in charge of dealing with him are left with a dilemma. If they let him live, he might continue to be a problem, but if they imprison or kill him, he will be a martyr for the dissidents. They eventually come to a solution, and decide to have him charged with child molestation and sent to a penal colony. The lawyer that is assigned to him, however, notes that the completeness of the evidence is somewhat suspicious, and conducts his own investigation. After finding holes in the records, he sets out to prove Blake innocent.
