Evan doesn't remember being taken-only waking inside a facility built to turn kids into something they're not. Every day is drills, evaluations, and "conditioning," monitored by silent handlers who call them by numbers instead of names.

Most of the others adapted. Evan never fully did.

When a system glitch exposes encrypted messages in the facility's network, Evan discovers the unthinkable: the world outside isn't gone...and the kids inside aren't as alone as they were taught to believe.

As alliances form in the shadows and the conditioning begins to fracture, Evan must decide who to trust-and whether he's willing to become the weapon the program designed or break it from the inside.
