Publisher's Synopsis
Imagine being seventeen, living in a world where you're smarter and faster than the systems designed to control you. Marcus, a tech-savvy teenager with a sharp mind, is confident he can outsmart any surveillance network his high school throws at him. But his skills are put to the ultimate test when a catastrophic terrorist attack turns his life upside down.
Caught in the wrong place at the wrong time, Marcus and his friends are apprehended by the Department of Homeland Security. Whisked away to a secret prison, they're subjected to grueling interrogations, stripped of their rights, and treated like dangerous criminals. Days later, Marcus is released-but the world he returns to is unrecognizable. San Francisco, his home, has transformed into a dystopian police state where everyone is a suspect and every move is monitored.

Will Marcus succeed against an all-powerful regime, or will his rebellion come at a price too high to pay?
