New York City's spirit has been crushed. People walk the streets with their heads down, withdrawing from one another and into the cold comfort of technology. Teenagers Mal and Laura have grown up in this reality. They've never met. Seemingly, they never will.
But on the same day Mal learns his brother has disappeared, Laura discovers her parents have forgotten her. Both begin a search for their families that leads them to the same truth: someone or something has wiped the teens from the memories of every person they have ever known. Thrown together, Mal and Laura must find common ground as they attempt to reclaim their pasts.
They've been erased from the world. But who is pulling the strings, and can two teenagers fight an enemy that can rewrite reality?
- Erased from Memory: Mal's brother is gone. Laura's parents are strangers. In a world that no longer remembers them, they are each other's only proof they ever existed.
- YA Science Fiction Thriller: A mysterious building that defies the laws of physics and a psychic virus spreading through technology are at the heart of a conspiracy that goes deeper than they can imagine.
- A Dystopian New York City: Explore a city crushed by a past catastrophe, where citizens retreat into their devices and a counterterrorism force watches every move.
- Lost Identity: When every photo and record of your life vanishes, who are you? Mal and Laura must reclaim their pasts to have any hope of a future.
