A dark, intellectually charged political thriller about revolution and resistance against totalitarianism, driven by a masked vigilante's violent crusade and his unlikely alliance with a young woman.

In a world in which Great Britain has become a fascist state, a masked vigilante known only as “V” conducts guerrilla warfare against the oppressive British government. When V rescues a young woman from the secret police, he finds in her an ally with whom he can continue his fight to free the people of Britain.
