To the outside world, fifteen-year-old Finn lives in a postcard-perfect suburban home. To Finn, it is a high-security museum where he is the primary exhibit-and "The Accused." ​Struggling with the physical and emotional scars of a past his adoptive parents refuse to acknowledge, Finn's only lifeline is a "contraband" phone. It's his window to Gabriel, his best friend across the province, and his only connection to a reality that isn't dictated by his parents' rigid schedules and lemon-scented "tough love." But when his parents begin targeting his digital world-cutting the Wi-Fi at a moment's notice to punish his "restless nights" and "defiant" silence-Finn begins to feel like a ghost fading out of existence. ​Caught between the crushing anxiety of home and the social landmines of high school, Finn navigates his days with black earbuds as his armor and a "Truth Journal" as his only sanctuary. While his best friend Heath offers a rhythm of normalcy and the enigmatic Endrea sends mixed signals in the hallways, Finn is haunted by a single, quiet question: Why am I even here? ​As the walls of the museum close in, Finn must decide if he will remain a silent exhibit or if he'll finally find the resonance to break the glass-even if it means shattering the only "perfect" life he's ever known.

I always knew I was goin' to die...I just never expected it to be like this. Blazin' hot desert, far from home, alone, ambushed, shot in the back an' left for dead- no, I'd never imagined it to be like this. Problem was...instead of dyin' right off, I got mad.
