Somewhere in a world where people are born with a number, the inborn qualities of the individual are defined by his or her particular digit, much like an identity. As a result, a nine is very much revered, whereas a five is pure mediocrity, and, God forbid, a vulgar and disgraceful zero, a true pariah, should be marginalised as the weakest link in society. But, sometimes, even a humble zero can be a splendid ten.
