Since the day she was born, Lena has viewed the world through the jagged window of a razor-wired fence. After a lifetime of hiding from the Y-Carrier, a disease which is carried by males yet kills females within hours of infection, Lena has a serious case of itchy feet.
The hundred acre property she shares with her mother in the Australian outback is no longer enough to stimulate her senses and her mother's increasingly tight grip on Lena's free will is choking her. She starts to wonder about life on the outside and her curiosity blooms the day she meets a boy through the fence - the first boy she has ever laid eyes on. His name is Patrick and he comes with a dangerous yet irresistible invitation of adventure beyond the fence, to which Lena cannot say no. But Lena's newfound freedom is short-lived and she soon discovers that the Y-Carrier disease is not the only enemy she faces on the outside. Her new enemies want something Lena has, and will do anything to get their extra-terrestrial hands on it.
