塀や金網に囲まれた街、『国際人権保護自立支援特別街区』――俗称、『鳥カゴ』。 　　そこは、最小限の経費で危険人物を隔離するために作られた、巨大な牢獄。 　　『住人』は、一歩でも敷地外に出ると、体内に打ち込まれたマイクロチップが破裂し、死亡する。 　　無法地帯と化した鳥カゴだったが、一般の人々は自由に出入りができるため、興味本位で入ったきり戻らない者も多く、特に若い女性の行方不明者が後を絶たなかった。 　　しかし、治外法権の鳥カゴ内に公の捜索が入ることもなく、自己責任として放置されていた。 　　そんな行方不明者を、家族からの依頼で探し出し、連れ戻す『逃がし屋』、ラギとリュウ。 　　命の危険もかえりみず、ゲーム感覚で仕事を続ける彼らのもとに、ある日、奇妙な依頼が舞い込む。 　　それは、一人の少年を鳥カゴの中枢まで連れて行ってほしいというものだった。 　　依頼人が提示したの桁外れの報酬に、リュウは危険を感じるが、『道に迷ったら明るい方を選べ』―― 　　命の恩人によるその言葉を指針にしているラギは、「引き受けてやる方が明るい道だ」と依頼を受ける。それが自らの存在を大きく揺るがす、触れてはならない鳥カゴの真実に直面する始まりとも知らず――。

She was once the wife of an important man, lived in a beautiful house in Hradčany, and was friends with the famous race car driver Eliška Junková. Today, however, she lives somewhere on the outskirts of Prague in a ground-floor apartment overlooking the courtyard and the street, alone and abandoned by practically everyone. Her husband died a long time ago, and her life now consists only of regular meetings with the postwoman, who brings her pension and her favorite motoring magazines, and regular help at the rectory and the local church. She occasionally cooks and bakes for Father Jan, and with her characteristic willingness, she also does his laundry and ironing. However, one of the last certainties in her life collapses unexpectedly quickly—Father Jan is transferred somewhere to Hradec Králové and is replaced by a young priest who is used to doing everything himself. At that moment, a smiling young man with dark glasses and a flower in his hand enters Květa Galová's life.
