Vincent Freeman is categorized as someone who can not do difficult work because society classifies it as inappropriate in its genetic makeup and can only perform inferior functions that need no effort. Freeman decided to reach his dream of making a trip to the stars.

He then set his date on the planned space mission, but the director was killed and investigations began.
