Lincoln Six Echo (Ewan McGregor) starts his day off like every other day – get up, get dressed, find out that he’s eating too much of this or that and that he can’t get bacon and has to eat something that he doesn’t want. Then he has to find out that he can’t find the answers to his questions, which no one else seems to have. They just seem to be fine with going through their lives, why is it that he is different? And he has these dreams about boats and things that come into his head.

The world that Lincoln lives in is self-contained. It has to be, since the outside world is contaminated. Every once in a while, a survivor is pulled in from the outside, and they have to help to train them to do even the most basic of tasks. Yet still, even years later, these people keep coming in.
