The Syndic functions as a de facto administration under this totalitarian system, offering a veneer of order and stability in an essentially chaotic the community. Lee Royd, the story's protagonist, is a Syndic member that gets involved in a perilous game of intrigue and rebellion after an accidental discovery leads him to question the legitimacy of the Syndic's leadership. He is drawn into a hidden resistance movement as he investigates more into the mystery of the Syndic's origins and motives. C. M.

"The Syndic" paints a bleak picture of the future in which organized crime and dictatorship have supplanted regular government structures. The novel asks readers to consider the nature of governance and the thin line that divides law from lawlessness through the eyes of Lee Royd.
