The year is 2040. The United States government has gone down in flames when the President is assassinated and the states all form their own governments, turning against each other and trying to create the strongest, best army in what is now known as the States. New York's military based government has a diabolical plan in mind: kidnap every citizen of New York, test their logical and strategical skills by giving them assessments, and the ones that fail die. Karalyn Meisley is one of the victims of the kidnapping spree, and she is only nine years old, going through unspeakable torture and pain while also figuring out her sexuality and learning to cope with the trauma she's been through. Helga Winslow lived a good life with her family in Queens until the day the soldiers broke into her home and took that all away. The only person she has left is her sister Hattie, and Helga starts to question who she is when she lays eyes on a girl who will change her life and view of herself forever. Will Helga and Karalyn make it out of this alive? Read to find out!
