A town stranded in the Green. Isolated. Ruled by the Laws of the Governors. A community reeling from pain and tragedy, where nothing is taken for granted. Not a great place to grow up, not a great place to be a "juvie." Ben Hewitt is missing a brother. He has stopped taking his Inhibitors. He has found the gun. Now he is scared. With only a few days until the Anniversary, the musors are after him and sinister strangers have been seen in town. On the run, unable to trust anyone, Ben must learn the black secret hidden in the heart of Greenville's residents if he is to survive. Time is running out.
