Zella has been faithful to the Program her entire life, never doubting Mother's choice to keep her in isolation since birth. As the first Child of the Lighthouse, she's always had a responsibility to be an example to the others-be grateful, be obedient. But after seventeen long years up in her lighthouse all alone, it's getting a lot harder to push down her secret-and forbidden-dreams of living a normal life, no matter the risks she's heard of. She secretly dreams of freedom.
Ryder can't count the amount of families he's had over the years. He's been bounced around from home to home for as long as he can remember. That's why he's not exactly impressed by this new family's fancy house, or the fancy new school they've enrolled him in. They're putting on a friendly face, but they'll show their true colors eventually. They always do. Luckily, he only has to make it a little while longer because soon he'll be eighteen, and he'll finally be free.
One whirlwind night changes everything for Zella and Ryder, as the two dreamers cross paths and open each other's eyes to what true freedom could really look like.
A haunting but charming modern-day take on the Rapunzel story we all know and love.
