Conner, Risa, and Lev discover that Proactive Citizenry has been hiding technology that could end unwinding forever. The company wants to create armies of rewound teen soldiers like Cam and will destroy anyone who threatens their profits. When the three friends reveal these secrets, angry teens flood Washington demanding change. But another danger grows stronger. Starkey leads a militant group of storked teens who want to burn every harvest camp and execute the adults who run them. The teens who survived unwinding now face an impossible choice. They can fight for justice through the system that failed them, or they can watch Starkey's followers tear the country apart with violence. America stands at a crossroads, and the decision rests with the same teens society tried to discard. Their choice will determine whether the nation finds healing or destroys itself in civil war.
