In 2004, five teenagers became the sole witnesses to a killing spree that shocked the small town of Deeplake, Washington: Grace, an evangelical, closeted lesbian; Hunter, her golden-boy boyfriend with crippling anxiety; Kat, the ‘bad’ girl with a 4.0 GPA; Noel, the boy every girl loves but who hates himself; and Malcolm, the self-selected outcast trying not to become his dead dad—Deeplake’s most infamous cop. 

But even after surviving the deadliest night in Deeplake history, their real problems begin twenty years later when Homecoming weekend lands them all back in Deeplake, only to discover the same red-cloaked strangers who’d murdered their classmates may be back in action. Reluctantly, preferring to leave their memories—and each other—in the past, they decide to team up and investigate in hopes of preventing another night of horror. But when they learn the dark truth of who’s behind the murders, and why, they have no choice but to overcome two-decades of arrested development and escape death a second time.

Four decades after a catastrophic pandemic, twenty-six year-old Adrian is diligently serving her duty to bring humanity back from the verge of extinction. Born and raised in the GenCorp Global Repopulation Center, colloquially known as Eden, she abides by the routines keeping her and her peers safe until she’ll join the rest of society. But on the eve of her ninth year of surrogacy, Adrian is sought out by GenCorp’s beguiling new head of state, sparking a chain of events which lead her to break the cardinal rule she didn't know existed: she falls in love.

Punished to a life of confinement, Adrian resigns herself to a future without her exiled lover or their unsanctioned child until she is stolen in the night by foreign insurgents. As she unexpectedly enters the world she once dreamed of, Adrian is forced to confront the harsh realities of her existence, question the true motives of people she trusted, and navigate the complexities of a family she never knew she had. She ultimately embraces a life of rebellion, fueled by a sliver of hope in finding her daughter, and joins a scheme to dismantle the system that took everything from her.

It's not until plans are in motion, journeying back to Eden with her new companions, that Adrian learns she is a pawn in a much larger game. To protect the remaining pieces of the future she hoped for, Adrian must reconcile with her past, embrace her new life as a renegade and, once again, escape the clutches of GenCorp.
