| Barrent has been convicted for murder and is brought to serve his sentence on Omega, a planet inhabited by criminals. His memory was washed and left without any recalls from his past life whatsoever (including the crime he seems to have committed). He is also unaware of all the dangers of living on Omega: a ruthless, yet quite complex society with a complex legal system (for instance, murder is rewarded under certain circumstances and drug consumption is compulsory for all citizens). Although Barrent is a skilful survivor, he does not fit well in this world, due to his independent nature and generally merciful behaviour.
