Jetta Banks could never have imagined that her safe reality was contrived from a horrific lie. Like everyone else, she’s relocated to a new community in her family’s Homeshield every eight weeks since birth. By design, life in Aritrea is predictably inconsistent and always governed by the Back to Basic philosophy instituted following the world-wide pandemic.

Still, Jetta feels like something is missing.

When she meets Montana Tanner, the blue-eyed boy from the oddly painted Homeshield, she begins to understand why. Not only is she instantly smitten, but he also reveals to her a secret about Aritrea’s new leadership, leaving her questioning everything she’s ever been taught. Knowing this damming information, Jetta faces an impossible choice; will she live a lie and remain on the Traxx with her family, or will she embrace the truth and choose an uncertain and dangerous future with the boy she loves?
