The world outside does not see it, those inside rarely leave it. A hermetically sealed nation enthralled to a mysterious leader who has spread fear throughout the world by unleashing a nuclear explosion. North Korea could be the most dangerous flashpoint on Earth.

Diane Sawyer takes an unprecedented look at life inside the secretive country. Granted a 12-day visa to Pyongyang, North Korea, Sawyer explores the country whose mysterious leader has spread fear with a recent underground nuclear explosion. Sawyer pulls back the curtain to reveal what daily life is like for the notoriously isolated country. North Koreans have no contact with the outside world. Are they truly uniform in their thoughts, and how they live their lives? Are they happy? What do they think of America and Kim Jong Il, the man they call "dear leader"?
