The Product. It's addictive, seductive, mind-altering, life-changing. Dangerous. Deadly, even. Your friendly local government wants to protect you from all dangerous things, so those dealing the Product are persecuted to the fullest extent of the law - public beatings, brutal mishandling, and ultimately permanent psychological reprogramming or death.
If you're a dealer and they see you, you run. Capture is not an option.
Kevin got caught. His girlfriend Lily knows it. Now her only goal is to help him escape, and to do that, she must enter the underworld formed around the Product. They might say no. They might even kill her. And even if the rescue succeeds, Lily needs to choose: stay in her safe, Government-protected life or join Kevin as a hunted fugitive or in the dangerous freedom of the Outers.
But first, they have to make it through the day.
