Welcome to the Unified State, where privacy is a thing of the past and thinking machines control everything. For Dale and Camille, making a living in this Total Transparency society is hard, but trying to hide something can be lethal.

Dale thought he was coming to the Unified State to save his parents, but soon realises that every path leads to a dead end. Camille was fighting against the system with her resistance group until she was captured and charged with terrorism.

When Dale stumbles into the Country's most dangerous secrets and Camille's captors believe he's involved with her, everyone's choices could have devastating consequences.

Can Dale trust the government he suddenly needs to save? Can Camille free herself in time to save her resistance friends? Find out in this original tale of survival, loyalty and love in the near future.
