Goreng voluntarily enters the vertical prison known as The Pit to serve six months.
Goreng is assigned to Level 48 and meets his first cellmate Trimagasi, who explains the brutal food system.
The food platform descends from the top level, laden with abundant food, which levels above devour rapidly before reaching lower levels.
Goreng attempts to ration food and encourages Trimagasi to save food for lower levels but is met with resistance.
Trimagasi kills Goreng on Level 48, but Goreng survives; afterward, Trimagasi dies due to harsh conditions or consequences.
Noma, a former administrator, becomes Goreng's new cellmate, bringing new perspectives and ideas about the Pit.
Goreng and Noma plan to send the platform up with untouched food, to signal a change and hope for the Pit system reform.
Goreng and Noma travel up through the levels together, facing starvation and adversity, to reach the top with the platform.
They discover a young girl in a lower level, who was not supposed to be in the prison, challenging the system's rules.
Goreng and Noma decide to send the girl via the platform to the top level as a symbol and message to the administration.
After sending the girl, Goreng is left in uncertainty about his fate as the platform continues upward alone.
