Katherine Holt lives in a state of desperate poverty
in the Lower Quarter of Incorporated Municipality Number 27, FEMA Region
II, foraging for food with her disabled sister, Rebecca, and hiding
with her Mother from the teams of Sweepers who roam the Lower Quarter,
which is supposed to have been evacuated due to plague.
But Katherine and her sister hide a secret-one that REGA, the
controlling, authoritarian governmental bureaucracy in her sector, would
do anything to get their hands on: she and her sister are immune to the
virus.
When they are picked up by a Sweeper team and taken to the HUT -
a prison-like processing center for the indigent, events begin to
spiral rapidly out of control as REGA becomes aware of their secret, and
Katherine engineers her own escape.
Can Katherine rescue her sister from the clutches of REGA before
they use Rebecca for their own ends, or is she falling into a clever
trap laid specifically for her? And what dark secret has her adopted
Mother been hiding for the past twenty years?
