In the year 2030, an underground organization known as the Sunrise Party captures four nations - Latvia, Estonia, Iceland and Sealand - and holds them ransom in exchange for top-secret information from the governments of the world. As the young prisoners endure torture, manipulation, and their own fear, they find that a bond stronger than they could have imagined is growing between them. Meanwhile, on the outside, the rest of the countries have to decide what they can and cannot sacrifice in order to save their friends. The captives cannot remain strong forever, and the Party's plot may be even more sinister than it initially appeared...

His insane jealousy towards Estonia and Iceland also causes him to treat them with particular cruelty.
* CowardlyLion: One of the story's greatest strengths is the fact that the four protagonists, particularly Latvia, exemplify this trope. All of them are very prone to open and realistic displays of fear, act foolishly in moments of panic, and often sink into despair, yet all four retain their immense inner strength, courage and compassion when it comes to keeping one another safe.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: A staple of the story - the nations cannot be killed permanently, and the scientists exploit this freely. To list some of the more extreme examples: Latvia dies once from [[spoiler: vivisection without anaesthetic]] and once from [[spoiler: having his skull cut open]]; Iceland is [[spoiler: brutally electrocuted]]; and Estonia succumbs twice to [[spoiler: the plague]] and once when [[spoiler: Fletcher steps on his throat, choking him]]. In addition, Fletcher's StartOfDarkness involved him [[spoiler: vivisecting a young Latvian soldier named Nikolajs Vanags,]] whose death, unfortunately, is permanent.

* ForcedToWatch: Too many examples to list with the captives, including one particularly gruesome scene in which Fletcher [[spoiler: re-opens Latvia's old scars]], forcing him to [[spoiler: relive the memories associated with them]] while the other three can only watch in horror. Also, the nations on the outsides are sent video tapes showing the torture and ending with ransom demands.
* HeroicSacrifice: At the beginning of the story, Latvia volunteers to be the first tortured in order to spare Sealand.
** Later on, Estonia [[spoiler: agrees to sleep with Strike]] so that she will give Latvia medicine. [[spoiler: He changes his mind.]]
* [[IHaveYourWife I Have Your Friends]]: One of the main reasons that the Sunrise Party captures Latvia, Estonia, Sealand and Iceland is so it can use them as leverage to persuade world governments into giving them vital information.

* MutilationInterrogation: Latvia gets a particularly horrific one at the beginning, being vivisected alive in order to make him reveal the names and addresses of other nations. He eventually cracks, but not after holding up under intense pain for several hours.
