In a chilling future, children aged 13-18 can be "unwound" - their bodies harvested for parts. When three teens face this fate, they'll go to extreme lengths to escape the harvest camps and reclaim their lives. Connor, Risa, and Lev each have their own reasons to resist, but they must band together and outwit a merciless system that deems their lives expendable. In this high-stakes thriller, their battle for survival becomes a fight for the right to exist.
