The government thought that teenagers were the main cause of crime in America. So from the day that a teenager turns thirteen, they are locked away in buildings and treated like prisoners and left that way until they are eighteen. Wendy Austin couldnt take it any longer. She knew that there had to be some way to escape all of it. As she starts to plan the escape, she must rely on her friends and a guard with a secret that she cant help but trust.

If any guard's catch her after the damage she has caused, she can guarantee that they'll kill her in a heartbeat. She now has to keep her friends safe, take down the government, and try to get back home to her family. But how can she keep everyone else alive when she's barely alive herself.

Everything just keeps getting more and more complicated. Will they make it out alive?
Wendy Austin has escaped from her captivity and the American government. She has everything she could ever want: her family, her brother, her best friend, and a house where she can live safely and not worry about being taken away. Yet, something is drawing her away from Canada and back to America. If there is any chance that Mike is still alive, she has to find out and save him. Through this rescue mission, she will learn what the American government is really capable of and what goes on inside their prisons from a guard's perspective. She may even find more than she came looking for. But even Wendy knows that when it comes to the American government, you only get one shot to make it out alive or end up dead.
