Eighteen-year-old Stanyard Dass had every intention of leaving his past behind when he fled a religious containment camp. But his assimilation into society is threatened when his old neighbor Philadelphia, on the run from the law, begs for his help. She carries the key to a chemical superweapon, and the government will kill to get her back. Stanyard agrees to take her to safety—but when everything goes horribly wrong, he must decide which one of them will make it out alive.
