Forbidden love has never been so exciting... It's a world of rules and oppression. Of cameras in your bedroom and authentic boredom. Even so, Rain 24-A has her life sketched out to the last detail. After all, she's Rain the Brain, Fast Tracker, and earner of the coveted Desk 1 position.

And she's on a mission to cure S.L.A.G., the mutated autism gene that's overcome what's left of the world. She's promised herself that nothing will get in her way. Until the day Orion 267-J struts into her geography class, the new boy from Province J. He's big and beefy and cocky... everything she can't stand in a guy.

She does everything in her power to fight off his advances. On the day he lures her into a hidden hedge gap, Orion bares not only his soul, but the wicked scars on his chest and back from an abusive father. More than sparks fly between this star-crossed couple as they hide their blooming romance from the prying eyes of the Administration, not to mention their family and friends.

After all, teenage romances are dealt with harshly. When Orion accidentally discovers secrets about Rain's family that are too brutal to understand, Rain clings to him. When she finally gives Orion her heart, he mysteriously goes missing. There's not a single trace of the boy who captured her heart. Desolate, Rain promises to get on with her life.

Until she's scheduled to take The Shot, and devastating information leaves her reeling. She's faced with a decision too stark, too harrowing to make on her own... and it's one that won't just affect her life.
