Following his resignation, a high ranking Government Official is abducted from his home and taken to a picturesque seaside location known as “The Village”. However, the idyllic surrounding hide a sinister world where “guests” are simply labelled as numbers and escape is impossible. His captors want secret information and will use any means to obtain it - give in and you’ll be left to live out your days as a brainwashed member of the community - rebel and your stay will be far from pleasant. With escape the objective, The Prisoner must also strive to maintain his identity throughout the clever methods of interrogation employed by his abductors, whist pursing his obsession to discover “who is Number 1?”.
