In 2073, the world is very different from what it used to be. World Wars are rising the tension in the air and armies are going into cities causing destruction and havoc.
Savannah is a girl who has never been out of her refuge underground which is called the Shelter. Although she is aware of the many things going on above her, she does not fully understand what it means until she, herself must leave in order to survive.
Ash, the son of one of Savannah's father's close friend, is a boy with a complicated past and a recently dead family due to the wars occurring around the world. The secrets he keeps along with Savannah's dad make her question, what are his intentions and what are they hiding?

"You should get some sleep." Ash looks at me seriously. He's right and I'm exhausted anyways.
The cool night air makes me feel so much calmer. It dries the sweat that formed as I run, it slows my racing heart, and it infiltrates my lungs with a light sting that reminds me that I am alive.
Ash scoots closer to me. Why? This guy hates me so why would he want to be closer to me?
"Here if you want a shoulder to lean on." He says looking ahead. At first I feel my cheeks heat up as I've never been that close to a guy before but he's not at all embarrassed which only makes me wonder if it's because he's done this with many other girls before me. That alone, calms my nerves and makes it less awkward.
"Thanks." I reply with a faint but grateful smile.
"No problem." He mumbles looking further into the dark cave rather than my eyes.
