Hannah is only seventeen and the apocalypse has torn her world apart. She's survived so much from watching her neighbors kill each other to saving her sister, Kelsey, from the Bad-born. But, now, her parents are both dead, Kelsey hates her, and she, Maya, and three of her friends have been captured and imprisoned by the same doctor who created the infection! Dr. Lewis did something to her...changed her somehow. They're all being treated like criminals on death row who are just around to be experimented on and controlled. Everyone around her, right down to Hawk (leader of the Bad-born), seems to have lost their fight already. Hannah can't blame them. She's struggling to keep it together; but Maya is counting on her. When will it ever be enough? Will Hannah be able to find a way out of her new prison? Or will she crumble under Dr. Lewis's plans for her?
