They are attended to by support staff who live on a cramped neighboring island, where whispers of revolt are brewing but for the Prosperans, life is perfection. And when the end of life approaches, they re sent to a mysterious third island, where their bodies are refreshed, their memories are wiped away, and they return to start life anew.<br><br>Proctor Bennett is a ferryman, whose job it is to enforce the retirement process when necessary.
