The story revolves around a man named Goren, who voluntarily enters a mysterious place called "the hole" for six months in exchange for a government job and to quit smoking. In the hole, food is distributed from the top levels to the bottom, but only those above get to eat, and the lower levels have to survive on leftovers.
Goren befriends an old man on level 48 and tries to find ways to distribute food equally among all levels. However, the old man is revealed to be cannibalistic, and Goren is forced to eat his flesh to survive.
As Goren navigates the hole, he meets various characters, including a woman who claims to be looking for her son but is later revealed to be an actress and a killer. Goren also meets a man named Barack, who brings a rope to the hole and helps Goren in his mission to distribute food equally.
Throughout the story, the hole is used as a metaphor for capitalism and the class privileges that come with it. Goren's journey is marked by violence, cannibalism, and desperation, but he eventually meets a mysterious girl who lives at the bottom of the hole.
The story concludes with Goren and the girl getting on the platform, and the girl is revealed to be the message of peace and resistance. She goes up to level 0, and Goren remains behind, symbolizing the end of his journey. The story ends with a reflection on the oppressive nature of capitalism and the need for change.
